Master-thief of Mount Parnassus, the heteropaternal twin of Philammon: son of Hermes by the mortal Chione of Phocis (greek_chione), born the same night as Apollo's son Philammon (Ovid Met. 11.301-317). Authored as a demigod (Olympian father Hermes + mortal mother Chione → divinity fraction 0.5). From Hermes he had unmatched skill in theft, the power to disguise and re-colour what he stole, and the binding oath (Homer Od. 19.394-397); he taught Heracles to wrestle (Apollod. 2.4.9, possibly conflated with the homonymous Argonaut). Father of Anticlea (greek_anticlea_ithaca) and maternal grandfather of Odysseus (greek_odysseus), whom he named at the cradle and on whose Parnassus boar-hunt the scar-recognition of Odyssey 19 turns. Wired to greek_chione + greek_hesiod_hermes as parents and reciprocally to his twin greek_philammon.
