Iphicles
3. A son of Phylacus, and grandson of Deion and Clymene, or, according to others, a son of Cephalus and Clymene, the daughter of Minyas.
He was married to Diomedeia or Astyoche, and was the father of Podarcesand Protesilaus. (

13.698;
Apollod. 1.9.12;

He was, like the two other Iphicles, one of the Argonauts, and possessed large herds of oxen, which he gave to Melampus, who had given him a favourable prophecy respecting his progeny. (
Hom. Il. 2.705,
Od. 11.289, &c.)
He was also celebrated for his swiftness in racing, by which he won the prize at the funeral games of Pelias, but in those of Amarynceus he was conquered by Nestor. (

36.2. 10.29.2;
