Amyntor (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Amyntor (Ancient Greek: Ἀμύντωρ, romanized: Amýntor, lit. 'defender') may refer to the following figures:
- Amyntor, the son of Ormenus, king of Eleon or Ormenium, and the father of Phoenix, Crantor, and Astydamia, who bore Heracles a son named Ctesippus.
- Amyntor was one of the sons of Aegyptus. He was killed by his wife, Damone, one of the Danaïdes.[1]
- Amyntor, son of Phrastor, was the father of Teutamides and grandfather of Nanas. In the latter's reign, the Pelasgians were driven out of Greece and colonized a land which was later called Tyrrhenia.[2]
