Now Hippocoon had sons, to wit: Dorycleus, Scaeus, Enarophorus, Eutiches, Bucolus,
Lycaethus, Tebrus, Hippothous, Eurytus, Hippocorystes, Alcinus, and Alcon.
With the help of these sons Hippocoon expelled Icarius and Tyndareus from Lacedaemon.1 They fled to Thestius and
allied themselves with him in the war which he waged with his neighbors; and Tyndareus
married Leda, daughter of Thestius. But afterwards, when Hercules slew Hippocoon and his
sons,2 they returned, and Tyndareus succeeded to the kingdom.
