After Tegea had been at war with Phenea for a long time, the cities agreed to put an end to the conflict by electing a set of triplet brothers to represent each side and letting the victorious side be determined in a fight between them. The Tegeans sent the three sons of Rheximachus, brothers of Demodice, while the Pheneans sent the three sons of Demostratus, one of whom, Demodicus, was betrothed to Demodice. Two of Rheximachus' sons were killed in the fight, but the third brother, Critolaus, outwitted his opponents by pretending to flee from them and then slaying them one by one as they were pursuing him, and thus brought victory to Tegea. Demodice, however, mourned her fiancé Demodicus rather than celebrate the victory, and was killed by Critolaus for being unpatriotic. His mother charged him with the murder but he was acquitted.
