Periclymenus information


In Greek mythology, the name Periclymenus (/ˌpɛrɪˈklɪmɪnəs/; Ancient Greek: Περικλύμενος Periklymenos) may refer to:

  • Periclymenus, a Pylian prince as the son of King Neleus (the son of Poseidon) and Chloris.[1] He was one of the Argonauts.[2] His grandfather, Poseidon gave him the ability to shapeshift into various animals. He was killed by Herakles at Pylos, although he tried to escape in the form of an eagle.[3] He was the father of Penthilos[4] or by Pisidice, of Borus, the father of Penthilus.[5]
  • Periclymenus, a defender of Thebes in the war of the Seven against Thebes, and would-be killer of Amphiaraus. He was the son of Poseidon and Chloris, daughter of Tiresias of Thebes. Amphiaraus was swallowed by the earth before Periclymenus could kill him though.[6] It was either this Periclymenus or Asphodicus that killed Parthenopaeus.[7]
  • Periclymenus, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Zacynthus along with other 43 wooers.[8] He, with the other suitors, was killed by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.[9]
  • Periclymenus or simply Clymenus, father of Erginus who was usually conflated with another Erginus, one of the Argonauts.
