Alcimus (mythology)

In Greek mythology, the name Alcimus (Ancient Greek: Ἄλκιμος) may refer to:

• Alcimus, a companion of Achilles; he and Automedon were the two most favored by Achilles after Patroclus' death.[1] Possibly the same as the Alcimus killed by Deiphobus.[2]
• Alcimus, one of the sons of Hippocoon. He had a heroon in Sparta.[3]
• Alcimus, father of Mentor (Odyssey).[4]
• Alcimus, son of Neleus.[5]
