In Greek mythology, Erginus {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɜːr|dʒ|ᵻ|n|ə|s}} ({{lang-grc|Ἐργῖνος}}) was king of Minyan Orchomenus in Boeotia. FamilyErginus was the son of Clymenus, his predecessor, and Buzyge (or Budeia)[1] and his brothers were Arrhon, Azeus, Pyleus, and Stratius.[2] Some authors[3] identify him with another Erginus, a Milesian Argonaut. MythologyErginus avenged his father's death at the hands of Perieres, charioteer of Menoeceus of Thebes; he made war against Thebans, inflicting a heavy defeat. The Thebans were compelled to pay King Erginus a tribute of 100 oxen per year for twenty years. However, the tribute ended earlier than Erginus expected, when Heracles attacked the Minyan emissaries sent to exact the tribute. This prompted a second war between Orchomenus and Thebes, only this time Thebes (under the leadership of Heracles) was victorious, and a double tribute was imposed on the Orchomenians.[4] Erginus was slain in battle according to the version of the story given by most ancient writers (e.g., the Bibliotheca, Strabo,[5] Eustathius). But according to Pausanias, Erginus was spared by Heracles and lived to a ripe old age, and even fathered two sons (Trophonius and Agamedes) on a younger woman.[6][7] References1. ^Scholia on Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica, 1.185; Eustathius on Homer, 1076.26 2. ^Pausanias, Description of Greece, 9.37.1 3. ^Pindar.
