Epochus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, the name Epochus (Ancient Greek: Ἔποχος) may refer to:
- Epochus, an Arcadian prince as son of King Lycurgus of Arcadia and Cleophyle or Eurynome[1] or Antinoe,[2] and thus the brother of Ancaeus, Amphidamas and Iasus. Epochus participated in the Calydonian boar hunt together with his brother Ancaeus: Pausanias describes a painting in the Tegean temple of Athena Alea, which portrays, among others, Epochus supporting Ancaeus who had been wounded by the boar.[3] Later on, Epochus fell ill and died, and was outlived by their father Lycurgus who reached an extreme old age.[4]
- Epochus, one of the two brothers of Oenoe (the eponym of a deme in Attica) that were portrayed on the altar of Nemesis in Rhamnous.[5]
