In
Greek mythology, there were two persons that had the name 'Amyclas':
'Amyclas' was the son of
Lacedemon and
Sparta, and he was the brother of
Eurydice (no relation to Orpheus' Eurydice). 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.
However in other versions, he was presented as the only surviving male (with his sister
Chloris, not the same as the Roman equivalent of
Flora). When
Laius the rightful king of Thebes returned, he was exiled and fled to
Sparta, where some say he founded Amyclae.
