In
Greek mythology, Amphilochus, or Amphílokhos, is the name of three men.1. Amphilochus was the younger son of
Amphiaraus and
Eriphyle and the brother of
Alcmaeon.Eriphyle persuaded Amphiaraus to take part in the
Seven Against Thebes raid, though he knew he would die. She had been persuaded by
Polynices, who offered her the necklace of
Harmonia, daughter of
Aphrodite and
Ares. Amphiaraus reluctantly agreed to join the battle and asked his sons, Alcmaeon and Amphilochus, to avenge his death. In the battle, Amphiaraus sought to flee from
Poriclymenus, the son of
Poseidon, who wanted to kill him, but
Zeus threw his thunder and the earth opened to swallow Amphiaraus together with his chariot.
