< Amphithea, mother of Anticleia >

1 Origin

Amphithea was born in Argos in 1275 BC. [This is presumed because Amphithea's grandson Sinon was an Argive.]

2 Family

Amphithea married Autolycus, son of Daedalion. [TzeAdLyco.344, Home.Od.19.416]

Autolycus and Amphithea had a son, Aesimus. [ComOnVAene.2.57, TzeAdLyco.344]

Autolycus and Amphithea had a daughter, Anticleia (or Anticlia, Anticlea). [Home.Od.19.416, Hyginus.201]

3 Others

There is a tradition that Amphithea's son, Aesimus, was related to Palamedes. [Virg.Aene.2.77]

Probably, their mothers were sisters.

Thus Amphithea and Philyra (or Hesione), the mother of Palamedes, were probably sisters. [Apo.2.1.5]
