Aristomachus (Heracleidae) in the context of "Hippodamia (daughter of Oenomaus)"

In Greek mythology, Temenus /ˈtɛmɪnəs/ (Greek: Τήμενος, Tḗmenos) was a son of Aristomachus and brother of Cresphontes and Aristodemus.

Temenus was a great-great-grandson of Heracles and helped lead the fifth and final attack on Mycenae in the Peloponnese. He became King of Argos. He was the father of Ceisus, Káranos, Phalces (who was said to be founder of Sicyon), Agraeus, and Hyrnetho. Káranos was the first king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia and founder of the royal Macedonian dynasty–the Temenid or Argead dynasty–which culminated in the sons of Alexander the Great five centuries later.

In Greek mythology, Cresphontes (/krɛsˈfɒntiːz/; Ancient Greek: Κρεσφόντης) was a son of Aristomachus, husband of Merope, father of Aepytus and brother of Temenus and Aristodemus. He was a great-great-grandson of Heracles and helped lead the fifth and final attack on Mycenae in the Peloponnesus. He became king of Messene.

Cresphontes and his brothers complained to the oracle that its instructions had proved fatal to those who had followed them (the oracle had told Hyllus to attack through the narrow passage when the third fruit was ripe). They received the answer that by the "third fruit" the "third generation" was meant, and that the "narrow passage" was not the isthmus of Corinth, but the straits of Rhium. They accordingly built a fleet at Naupactus, but before they set sail, Aristodemus was struck by lightning (or shot by Apollo) and the fleet destroyed, because one of the Heraclidae had slain an Acarnanian soothsayer.

In Greek mythology, Aristodemus (Ancient Greek: Ἀριστόδημος) was one of the Heracleidae, son of Aristomachus and brother of Cresphontes and Temenus. He was a great-great-grandson of Heracles and helped lead the fifth and final attack on Mycenae in the Peloponnese.

Lysimache (/laɪˈsɪməkiː/; Ancient Greek: Λυσιμάχη Lusimákhē) is the name of three characters in Greek mythology and history:

• Lysimache, daughter of Abas, son of Melampus. She married king Talaus of Argos and bore him these children: Adrastus, Mecisteus, Hippomedon, Pronax, Aristomachus, and Eriphyle.
• Lysimache, a daughter of Priam, king of Troy.
• Lysimache, daughter of Drakontides of Bate. She was a high priestess of Athena Polias, serving as such for 64 years (430–365 BCE).

The name Merops (Ancient Greek: Μέροψ means "mankind, mortals" or "dividing the voice") refers to several figures from Greek mythology:

• Merops, king of Ethiopia, husband of Clymene and adoptive father of Phaethon, his wife's son by Helios.
• Merops, a resident of Miletus and father of Pandareus.
• Merops, king of Percote, father of two sons (Amphius and Adrastus) killed by Diomedes in the Trojan War, and of two daughters, Cleite, wife of Cyzicus, and Arisbe, the first wife of Priam. He had prophetic abilities and foresaw the deaths of his sons, but they ignored his warnings. Merops also taught Aesacus to interpret dreams.
• Merops, a son of Triopas, or an autochthon and a king of Cos (the island was thought to have been named after his daughter). He was married to the nymph Ethemea (or, more correctly, Echemeia), who was shot by Artemis for having ceased to worship the goddess and snatched away alive by Persephone. As Merops was about to commit suicide over his wife Echemeia's death, Hera took pity on the grieving widower and changed his shape into that of an eagle, and later placed him among the stars (the constellation Aquila). Merops was the father of Eumelus and through him grandfather of Agron, Byssa and Meropis, all of whom were notorious for their impiety. Clytie, the wife of Eurypylus of Cos, were given as the daughters of Merops.
• Merops, the father of Titanis, who was changed by Artemis into a deer because of her beauty.
• Merops, king of Anthemousia, who fought against Sithon of Thrace for the hand of the latter's daughter Pallene and was killed.
• Merops, whose daughter Epione was the wife of Asclepius.
• Merops, son of Hyas, who was the first to make people reassemble in settlements after the great deluge.
• Merops, a great-grandson of Temenus in the following genealogy of the Heracleidae: Heracles - Hyllus - Cleodaeus - Aristomachus - Temenus - Cissius - Thestius - Merops - Aristodamis - Pheidon - Caranus.
