Architeles

Architeles (Ancient Greek: Ἀρχιτέλης) was the name of several people from ancient Greek mythology:

  • Architeles, father of Eunomus, whom Heracles killed by accident on his visit to Architeles. The father forgave Heracles, but Heracles nevertheless went into voluntary exile.[1][2][3]
  • Architeles, a son of Achaeus and Automate, and brother of Archander, together with whom he carried on a war against the king Lamedon.[4] He married a woman also named Automate, who was the daughter of Danaus.[5]
