Phidippus (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Phidippus /ˌfaɪˈdɪpəs/ (Greek Φείδιππος "he who spares the horses") was a son of Thessalus and Chalciope and brother of Antiphus and Nesson.

Mythology

Pheidippus was among the suitors of Helen[1] and accordingly participated in the Trojan War; he and his brother Antiphus led a contingent of thirty ships from Nisyrus, Carpathus, Casus, Cos and Calydnae.[2] After the war and the storm that scattered the Greek ships, Pheidippus and the Coans settled at Andros, while Antiphus went to the land of the Pelasgians and, having taken possession of it, called it Thessaly after their father.[3] In another account, Antiphus and Pheidippus were said to have invaded the land together; it is also reported that the region was believed to have had another name, Nessonis, after their third brother Nesson.[4]

gollark: The MPU6050 has an accelerometer + gyroscope for that, and I think it has *some* way to give you absolute orientation data through something.
gollark: And there's no way to get it to get absolute orientation using the magnetometer data too?
gollark: How would you not be able to get that if you used the magnetometer + MPU6050?
gollark: It should probably be fine.
gollark: Oh, I used one of those for a thing, the drift was fine and the magnetometer probably lets you compensate for it.
