“Myrmidon (hero)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

In Greek mythology, Myrmidon ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɜr|m|ɪ|d|ə|n|}}^[1]or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɜr|m|ɪ|d|ɒ|n|}}^[2]; Ancient Greek: Μυρμιδόνος) was the eponymous ancestor of the Myrmidons in one version of the myth.^[3]

Family

Myrmidon was the son of Zeus and Eurymedusa,^[4]^[5] daughter of Cleitor (Cletor) of Arcadia^[6]^[7] or of the river god Achelous.^[8]^[9]

Myrmidon married Peisidice, daughter of Aeolus and Enarete, and by her became the father of Antiphus and Actor.^[10] Also given as his sons are Erysichthon^[11] and Dioplethes, himself father of Perieres,^[12] although Erysichthon and Perieres have been ascribed different parentage as well. He also had two daughters: Eupolemeia (mother of the Argonaut Aethalides by Hermes)^[13]^[14] and Hiscilla (mother of Phorbas by Triopas).^[15]

Mythology

Zeus was said to have approached Eurymedusa in the form of an ant (Greek μύρμηξ myrmēx), which was where her son's name came from; others say that Myrmex was the name of Eurymedusa's mortal husband, and that it was his shape that Zeus assumed to approach her.^[16]
