< Amarynceus, son of Pyttius >

1 Origin

In 1280 BC, Amarynceus (or Amarynces) was born in Buprasium of Eleia.

Amarynceus' father was Pyttius.

2 Family

Amarynceus had two sons, Diores and Hippostratus. 

3 Others

In 1243 BC, Amarynceus was appointed general by Augeas, king of Elis, when Heracles attacked Elis. 

The twin sons of Actor appear in the funeral games of Amarynceus, described in the Iliad.

After the battle with Heracles, Actor's twin sons were killed by Heracles at Cleonae.

In other words, Amarynceus probably died in battle when Heracles attacked Elis.
