Poriclymenus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Poriclymenus (or Periclymenus) was a name attributed to two different individuals. Poriclymenus was a son of Poseidon and Chloris and would-be murderer of Amphiaraus in the battle for Thebes. Amphiaraus was swallowed by the earth before he could kill him though.[1] Poriclymenus was also the son of Neleus and one of the Argonauts. Poseidon gave him the ability to shapeshift in various animals. He was killed by Heracles at Pylos.[2]
