Tlepo'lemus

（*Tlhpo/lemos.)

1. A son of Heracles by Astyoche, the daughter of Phylas (Hom. Il. 2.658; Apollod. 2.7. §§ 6, 8; Philostr. Her. 2.14), or by Astydameia, the daughter of Amyntor, king of the Dolopians in Thessaly. (Pind. O. 7.41.) Tlepolemus was king of Argos, but after slaying his uncle Licymnius, he was obliged to take to flight, and in conformity with the command of an oracle, settled in Rhodes, where he built the towns of Lindos, Ialysos and Cameiros, and from whence he joined the Greeks in the Trojan war with nine ships. (Hom. Il. 2.653, &c.; Apollod. 2.8.2.) At Troy he was slain by Sarpedon. (Il. 5.627, &c.; Diod. 4.58, 5.59.) His wife Philozoe instituted funeral games in commemoration of his death. (Tzetz. ad Lyc. 911.）

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.
