Iphitus

Greek · mortal · heroic age · mortal

Eldest son of Eurytus of Oechalia, Argonaut, and guest-friend of Odysseus (to whom he gave the bow of Eurytus, the bow of Odyssey 21) and of Heracles, who murdered him by hurling him from the walls of Tiryns — the crime that sent Heracles into servitude to Omphale. Mortal-tier (mortal father, unregistered mortal mother), matching the registered Eurytus and Iole. Distinct from Iphitus son of Naubolus, the Phocian Argonaut and father of Schedius and Epistrophus (Iliad 2.518).
