Περιφήτης).

1. A son of Hephaestus and Anticleia, was surnamed Corynetes, that is, Club-bearer, and was a robber at Epidaurus, who slew the travellers he met with an iron club. Theseus at last slew him and took his club for his own use. (Apollod. 3.16.1; Plut. Thes 38; Paus 2.1.4; Ov. Met. 7.437.)
