In Greek mythology, Iphiclus (/ˈɪfɪkləs/, Ancient Greek: Ἴφικλος Iphiklos) was the name of the following figures:
- Iphiclus, other name for Iphicles, son of Alcmene and Amphitryon.
- Iphiclus, a Pleuronian prince as the son of King Thestius[1] and either Laophonte,[2] Leucippe,[3] Deidameia[4] or Eurythemis.[5] He was the brother of Althaea, Leda, Hypermnestra, Evippus, Plexippus and Eurypylus. Iphitus was one of the Argonauts,[6] and a participant in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar, where he was killed by Meleager.
- Iphiclus, a Phylacean prince as the son of the eponymous King Phylacus[7] of Phylace and Clymene, and brother of Alcimede[8] and Clymenus. He was the father of Protesilaus and Podarces by Diomedeia.[9] Hesiod described him as fleet of foot. Iphiclus was cured of infertility by Melampus, and gave him his famous herd of oxen in reward.[10] He was counted among the Argonauts who sailed for Colchis in their quest of the Golden Fleece.[11]
- Iphiclus, a Cretan prince as the son of King Idomeneus and Meda, probably the brother of Orsilochus, Cleisithyra and Lycus. Together with the latter, they were slain by the usurper Leucus.[12]
