Eryx

（Ἔρυξ). A son of Butes and Aphrodité, who, relying upon his strength, challenged all strangers to fight with him in the combat of the caestus. Heracles accepted his challenge after many had yielded to his superior dexterity, and Eryx was killed in the combat, and buried on the mountain where he had built a temple to Aphrodité (Verg. Aen. v. 402).
