Amphinomus
In Greek mythology, Amphinomus (/æmˈfɪnəməs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀμφίνομος Amphínomos; literally "grazing all about") may refer to the following personages:
- Amphinomus, the Aetolian father of Thyrie (Hyria) who became the mother of Cycnus by Apollo.
- Amphinomus, a prince of Dulichium as the son of King Nisos. He was one of the suitors of Penelope and was considered the best-behaved of them. Despite Odysseus's warning, Amphinomus 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.
- Amphinomus, son of Diomedes and the daughter of King Daunus of Apulia in Italy.
There was also a Greek geometer called Amphinomus. He is thought to have flourished in the fourth century BC, but is otherwise unknown. He is mentioned a few times by Proclus in his Commentary on the First Book of Euclid's Elements.
