Amyclas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Amyclas refers to two individuals:

  • Amyclas was the son of Amphion and daughter of Niobe. He perished with his brothers and sisters in the massacre of Niobides. In other versions, however, he was presented as the only surviving male (with his sister Chloris, not the same as the Roman equivalent of Flora). When Laius the rightful king of Thebes returned, he was exiled and fled to Sparta, where some say he founded Amyclae.
