Amphithea in the context of "Hemithea (mythology)"

Aegialeus (Ancient Greek: Αἰγιαλεύς derived from αἰγιαλός aigialos "beach, sea-shore") also Aegealeus, Aigialeus, Egialeus, was the elder son of Adrastus, a king of Argos, and either Amphithea or Demonassa.

In Greek mythology, Opheltes (Ancient Greek: Ὀφέλτης), also called Archemorus (Αρχέμορος, Beginning of Doom), was a son of Lycurgus of Nemea. His mother is variously given as Eurydice, Nemea, or Amphithea. As an infant, he was killed by a serpent at Nemea. Funeral games were held in the boy's honor, and these were supposed to have been the origin of the Nemean Games.

In Greek mythology, the female name Polymede (Ancient Greek: Πολυμήδη) may refer to:

• Polymede, daughter of Autolycus by Mestra, Neaera or Amphithea; and the possible mother of Jason by Aeson, King of Iolcus. She was also called Polymele or Polypheme; otherwise the mother of the hero was either (1) Alcimede, daughter of Phylacus; (2) Amphinome; (3) Rhoeo, daughter of Staphylus; (4) Theognete, daughter of Laodicus; and lastly, (5) Arne or (6) Scarphe.
• Polymede, mother of Nestor by Neleus, king of Pylos. Otherwise, Nestor's mother was known as Chloris, a Minyan princess and daughter of King Amphion of Orchomenus.

In Greek mythology, Lycurgus (/laɪˈkɜːrɡəs/; Ancient Greek: Λυκοῦργος Lykoûrgos, Ancient Greek: /lykôrɡos/), also spelled Lykurgos or Lykourgos, was the son of Pheres, and the husband of Eurydice (or Amphithea) by whom he was the father of Opheltes. In the earliest account, Lycurgus was a priest of Nemean Zeus, while in later accounts he was a king of Nemea.

When the army of the Seven against Thebes was passing through Nemea on its way to Thebes, Lycurgus' infant son Opheltes was killed by a serpent, through the negligence of his nursemaid Hypsipyle. The child's funeral games were said to have been the origin of the Nemean Games and Lycurgus' tomb was said to be in the grove of Nemean Zeus.

Macareus (/məˈkæriəs, -ˈkɑːrjuːs/; Ancient Greek: Μακαρεύς Makareus 'happy') or Macar (/ˈmeɪkər/; Ancient Greek: Μάκαρ Makar) was, in Greek mythology, the son of Aeolus, though sources disagree as to which bearer of this name was his father: it could either be Aeolus the lord of the winds, or Aeolus the king of Tyrrhenia. His mother was, at least in the latter case, Amphithea.

In Greek mythology, Deipyle (Ancient Greek: Δηιπύλη, Dēipulē) may refer to:

Macareus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.
