Amphinomus


In Greek mythology, Amphinomus , was the son of King Nisos and one of the suitors of Penelope who was killed by Telemachus.

Mythology

Amphinomus was considered the best-behaved of the suitors. Despite Odysseus's warning, he was compelled by Athena to stay, as he had been a suitor nonetheless. He was killed by a spear thrown by Telemachus during the murder of the suitors; ironically, Amphinomous had twice tried to dissuade the suitors from killing Telemachus.
