Antiphos (son of Thessalus)
Antiphos ( ancient Greek Ἄντιφος Antiphos / 'antifos / ) is a figure in Greek mythology .
He was the son of Thessalus and thus the grandson of Heracles and Chalkiope . Hyginus made Chalkiope his mother by confusing the generations. Together with his brother Pheidippos he led thirty ships, whose crew the brothers from the grandfather's territory of Eurypylos had pulled together from the islands of Nisyros , Karpathos , Kasos , Kos and the islands called Kalydnai, in the Trojan War . After arriving in Mysia , the brothers tried to get Telephus to side with the Greeks. The literary sources do not agree on the further course of his life. Hyginus has him killed by Sarpedon , Dares by Hector . The pseudo-Aristotelian Peplos, however, counts him among the surviving destroyers of Troy .
On the way home he met the Pelasgians , whose land he conquered and named Thessaly after his father . According to Strabo , on the other hand, it was only his descendants who moved from Ephyra who settled the area. In Ephyra there is said to have been a common tomb for Antiphos and his brother.
