Pericly'menus

（*Periklu/menos).

1. One of the Argonauts, was a son of Nelens and Chloris, and a brother of Nestor. (Hom. Od. 11.285 ; Apollod. 1.9.15; Orph. Aryon. 155.) Poseidon gave him the power of changing himself into different foims, and confierred upon him great strength, but he was nevertheless slain by Heracles at the taking of Pylos. (Apollod. 1.9.9, 2.7.3 ; Apollon. 1.156 with the Schol.; Ov. Met. 13.556, &c.; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 1685.) According to Hyginus (Hyg. Fab. 10) Periclymenus escaped Heracles in the shape of an eagle.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
