Amphoterus (son of Alcmaeon)
# Amphoterus (son of Alcmaeon)

In Greek mythology, Amphoterus (Ancient Greek: Ἀμφότερός) was the son of Alcmaeon by Callirrhoe (daughter of the river god Achelous), and brother of Acarnan.

## Mythology

Amphoterus, just like his brother, suddenly became grown-up in order to avenge his father. The sons of Phegeus, who had killed Alcmaeon, were carrying the necklace of Harmonia to Delphi to dedicate it, and came to the house of Agapenor at the same time as Amphoterus and his brother Acarnan. These, then, killed their father's murderers, and going to Psophis and entering the palace they slew both king Phegeus and his wife.
