Friend of Heracles who during that hero’s eighth labor was left in charge of the flesh-eating mares of Diomedes, a savage king of the Bistones in Thrace, while Heracles repelled the attacking Bistones. He was, however, soon eaten by the monstrous horses. Having killed Diomedes, Heracles threw the king’s corpse to his own mares and then founded the city of Abdera to honor his lost friend before driving the mares back to Eurystheus.
