Amyclas

In Greek mythology, Amyclas (Ἀμύκλας) refers to two individuals:

According to Pseudo-Apollodorus, he was the father of Hyacinth and Cynortas; according to Pausanias, he was also the father of Laodamia, wife of Arcas, eponymous hero of Arcadia. He was the mythical founder of Amyclae in central Laconia.


 * Amyclas was the son of Amphion and daughter of Niobe. He perished with his brothers and sisters in the massacre of Niobides.

When Laius the rightful king of Thebes returned, he was exiled and fled to Sparta, where some say he founded Amyclae.


 * Amyclas or Amyclus of Heraclea, a pupil of Plato's
