Licymnius in the context of "Argeus (Greek myth)"

Amphitryon (/æmˈfɪtriən/; Ancient Greek: Ἀμφιτρύων, gen.: Ἀμφιτρύωνος; usually interpreted as "harassing either side", Latin: Amphitruo), in Greek mythology, was a son of Alcaeus, king of Tiryns in Argolis. His mother was named either Astydameia, the daughter of Pelops and Hippodamia, or Laonome, daughter of Guneus, or else Hipponome, daughter of Menoeceus. Amphitryon was the brother of Anaxo (wife of Electryon), and Perimede, wife of Licymnius. He was a husband of Alcmene, Electryon's daughter, and stepfather of the Greek hero Heracles.

In Greek mythology, Anaxo (Ancient Greek: Ἀναξώ) was the daughter of Alcaeus (son of Perseus and Andromeda) and Astydameia (daughter of Pelops and Hippodamia). Her mother was also named as Laonome, daughter of Guneus, otherwise she was Hipponome, daughter of Menoeceus.

Anaxo was the sister of Amphitryon and Perimede, wife of Licymnius. She married Electryon, king of Mycenae, and her own uncle. Her children were Alcmene, Stratobates, Gorgophonus, Phylonomus, Celaeneus, Amphimachus, Lysinomus, Cheirimachus, Anactor, and Archelaus.

In Greek mythology, the name Melas (Ancient Greek: Μέλας, romanized: Mélas, lit. 'black, dark') refers to a number of characters.

• Melas, son of Poseidon and an unnamed nymph of Chios, brother of Agelus. He may or may not be identical to Melas, son of Poseidon, who was said to have given his name to the river Melas in Egypt, which was later renamed Nile.
• Melas, a Calydonian prince as one of the sons of King Porthaon and Euryte, and thus, brother of Oeneus, Agrius, Alcathous, Leucopeus and Sterope. He was the father of Pheneus, Euryalus, Hyperlaus, Antiochus, Eumedes, Sternops, Xanthippus and Sthenelaus, who were all slain by Tydeus for plotting against their uncle Oeneus.
• Melas, a son of Phrixus and Chalciope. By Eurycleia, daughter of Athamas and Themisto, he became the father of Hyperes.
• Melas, son of Licymnius. He and his brother Argius accompanied Heracles in his campaign against Eurytus, and both fell in the battle.
• Melas, son of Oenopion and possibly the nymph Helice. He was the brother of Talus, Euanthes, Salagus, Athamas and Merope (Aero). He, together with his father and brothers, sailed from Crete to Chios and settled there.
• Melas, son of Antasus, from Gonusa near Sicyon. He expressed desire to join the Dorians in their expedition against Corinth. Aletes consulted the oracle of Apollo about him; the god expressed disapproval, and Aletes at first told Melas to go and search for other allies among the Greeks, but then changed his mind and, neglecting the prophecy, let him join. Melas was the ancestor of Cypselus.
• Melas, son of Ops. Athena assumed his shape to persuade Teuthis not to withdraw his army from Aulis. Teuthis, outraged, hit whom he took for Melas with a spear and did return home. Later, he saw the wounded goddess in a dream; he was then struck with a wasting disease, and his country suffered from famine.
• Melas, one of the Tyrrhenian pirates who attempted to delude Dionysus but were transformed into dolphins by him.

In Greek mythology, Mideia (Ancient Greek: Μιδεία) or Midea (Ancient Greek: Μιδέα) may refer to:

• Midea, a Phrygian slave, mother of Licymnius by Electryon.
• Midea, a nymph, mother of Aspledon by Poseidon. The town Lebadea was believed to have previously been named Mideia after her.
• Midea, one of the Danaïdes. She married (and killed) Antimachus, son of Aegyptus.
• Midea, daughter of Aloeus and eponym of a city in Argos.
