Antiphates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Antíphatês was King of the Laestrogynes, a mythological tribe of gigantic cannibals. He was married and had a daughter. When he was visited by a scouting party sent by Odysseus, he ate one of the men on the spot and raised a hue-and-cry to ensure most of the rest of Odysseus' company would be hunted down.
