Amphidamas (Lokris)
Amphidamas ( Greek Ἀμφιδάμας ) is a figure in Greek mythology .
Amphidamas lived in the eastern local city of Opus and was the father of a son who was slain in anger while playing knuckles by the very young Patroclus , who also came from Opus . While the son of Amphidamas is still nameless in Homer , he is later called Klesonymos or Kleitonymos. In the tragedy of Astragalastai in the early 3rd century BC Alexandros Aitolus , who wrote about the youth of Patroclus, wrote his name as Lysandros. Seems to have known the Son as Aianes Lokrische tradition, which is why Strabo him with a Aianeion sanctuary and called a source called Aianis in connection brought. But there is probably a mixture or confusion with the Locrian aias .
