Ascalaphus (son of Ares)
(Redirected from Ascalaphus of Orchomenus)
In Greek mythology, Ascalaphus or Askalaphus (/əˈskæləfəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀσκάλαφος Askalaphos), was son of Ares[1] and the Minyan princess Astyoche,[2] daughter of King Actor of Orchomenus. Ascalaphus was also a king of the Minyans, and twin brother of Ialmenos.[3] These brothers were counted among the Argonauts[3] and the suitors of Helen,[4] and led the Orchomenian contingent in the Trojan War,[5] where Deiphobos threw a spear and killed him.[6]
