Amyclas was the son of King
Lacedemon and Queen
Sparta, and brother of Queen
Eurydice of
Argos. He was the father of
Argalus,
Cynortas,
Hyacinth,
Laodamia (or
Leaneira),
Harpalus, and
Hegesandre. In other versions of the myth, Amyclas was also called the father of
Daphne. Cynortas was the son who succeeded Amyclas on the throne; in some versions Cynortas ascends to power directly after his father, and in others he does so after Argalus, his elder brother, dies. == Notes ==
