Encyclopedia > Erginus

In Greek mythology, Erginus was a Boeotian king and father of Trophonius and Agamedes. He also avenged his father's death at the hands of the Thebans.

Another Erginus was an Argonaut; he piloted the Argo after Tiphys's death. He may be the son of Poseidon or of Clymenus.

Minyans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (440 words)
Erginus quite understandably made war on Thebes, but Heracles defeated the Minyans with his fellow Thebans after arming them with weapons that had been dedicated in temples.
This appalling and blasphemous behavior showed that Bronze Age rules of social decorum were over: Erginus was killed and the Minyans were forced to pay double the previous tribute to the Thebans.
The Argonauts were sometimes referred to as "Minyans" because Jason's mother came from that line, and several of his cousins joined in the adventure.
