Amyclas
In Greek mythology, Amyclas (Ancient Greek: Ἀμύκλας) refers to two individuals:
- Amyclas, a mythical king of Sparta.[1]
- Amyclas, a Theban prince as the son of King Amphion and Niobe, daughter of Tantalus.[2] He perished with his brothers and sisters in the massacre of Niobids. In other versions, however, he was presented as the only surviving male (with his sister Chloris). When Laius the rightful king of Thebes returned, he was exiled, fleeing to Sparta, where some say he founded Amyclae.
There is also an Amyclas in Roman epic:
