Aniketos
Aniketos ( ancient Greek Ἀνίκητος the invincible ) is a person from Greek mythology .
In the library of Apollodorus it is reported that Heracles reconciled with Hera immediately after his acceptance among the Olympian gods and married her daughter Hebe . From this marriage the children Aniketos and Alexiares emerge. In a Scholion at Pindar , Aniketus appears as the son of Heracles and Megara , the daughter of the Theban king Creon . It is believed that his name, like his brother's name, refers to characteristics of Heracles.
