- Iphiclus, a Pleuronian prince as the son of King Thestius[1] and either Laophonte,[2] Leucippe,[3] Deidameia[4] or Eurythemis.[5] He was the brother of Althaea, Leda, Hypermnestra, Evippus, Plexippus and Eurypylus. Iphitus was one of the Argonauts,[6] and a participant in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar, where he was killed by Meleager.

He was the father of Protesilaus and Podarces by Diomedeia.[9] Hesiod described him as fleet of foot. Iphiclus was cured of infertility by Melampus, and gave him his famous herd of oxen in reward.[10] He was counted among the Argonauts who sailed for Colchis in their quest of the Golden Fleece.[11]
