Phaestus
(
*Fa=istos), a son of Rhopalus, and grandson of Heracles, was king of Sicyon, from whence he emigrated to Crete. (
Paus. 2.6.3.)
He is said to have established at Sicyon the custom of worshipping Heracles as a god, since before he had only been honoured as a hero, (
Paus. 2.10. § l;
Eustath. ad Hom. p. 313.)
A second Phaestus wis a son of Borus, of Tarne, in Maeonia, and was slain by Idomeneus at Troy (
Hom. Il. 5.431.)
