Amphimachus

In Greek mythology, Amphimachus (; Ancient Greek: Ἀμφίμαχος derived from ἀμφί amphi "on both sides, in all directions, surrounding" and μάχη mache "battle") was one of the leaders of the Elean contingent at the Trojan War. Family Amphimachus was the son of Cteatus (son of Actor) and Theronice, daughter of Dexamenus. Mythology Amphimachus brought 40 ships to Troy together with other leaders from Elis, including Thalpius, Diores and Polyxenus: And they that dwelt in Buprasium and goodly Elis, all that part thereof that Hyrmine and Myrsinus on the seaboard and the rock of Olen and Alesium enclose between them—these again had four leaders, and ten swift ships followed each one, and many Epeians embarked thereon. Of these some were led by Amphimachus and Thalpius, of the blood of Actor, sons, the one of Cteatus and the other of Eurytus; and of some was the son of Amarynceus captain, even mighty Diores; and of the fourth company godlike Polyxeinus was captain, son of king Agasthenes, Augeias' son.
