Dorycleus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dorykleus ( ancient Greek Δορυκλεύσ ) is a person of Greek mythology .

He is the son of the hippocoon from Amyklai . Together with his father and his brothers Skaios , Enarophoros , Bukolos , Euteiches , Lykaithos , Tebros , Hippothoos , Eurytos , Hippokorystes , Alkinos and Alkon , he drives the rulers of Sparta , Ikarios and Tyndareos , out of the city. Hippocoon and all his sons are killed by Heracles , whereupon Tyndareus takes control again.

Pausanias names Dorkeus and Sebros as the sons of Hippokoon , who can probably be identified with Dorycleus and Tebros. Both had a heroon in Sparta .
