OICLES
or OICLEUS, a son of Antiphates, grandson of Melampus and father of Amphiaraus, of Argos. Diodorus on the other hand, calls him a son of Amphiaraus, and Pausanias a son of Mantius, the brother of Antiphates.
Oicles accompanied Heracles on his expedition against Laomedon of Troy, and was there slain in battle.
According to other traditions he returned home from the
expedition, and dwelt in Arcadia, where he was visited by his
grandson Alcmaeon, and where in later times his tomb was
shown.
