Periphetes

Periphetes (/ˌpɛrɪˈfiːtiːz/; Περιφήτης) is the name of several characters from Greek mythology.

  • Periphetes, son of Nyctimus and father of Parthaon.[1]
  • The most prominent Periphetes, also known as Corynetes or the Club-Bearer, was a son of Hephaestus and Anticleia. Periphetes was lame in one leg, like his father and had one eye like a Cyclops. He roamed the road from Athens to Troezen where he robbed travelers and killed them with his bronze club. Theseus encountered and killed him near Epidauros (See Plutarch, Life of Theseus, et al).
  • Periphetes, the son of Copreus; he was killed during the Trojan war by Hector.[2]
  • Periphetes, king of Mygdonia. He fought with Sithon for the hand of the latter's daughter Pallene and was killed.[3]
  • Periphetes, a Trojan who was killed by Teucer.[4]
