Melanippus
In Greek mythology, there were eleven people named Melanippus: ⁕Melanippus, one of the sons of Agrius, killed by Diomedes. ⁕Melanippus, son of Perigune and Theseus, the father of Ioxus who, together with Ornytus, led a colony to Caria and became the ancestor of the family Ioxides. ⁕Melanippus, sometimes misspelled "Menalippus", son of Astacus, defender of Thebes in Seven Against Thebes. In Aeschylus' play, he defended the Proitid gate against Tydeus. He killed two of the seven attacking champions, Mecisteus and Tydeus, but was killed by either Amphiaraus, or Capaneus, or by Tydeus himself as he died. Tydeus broke Melanippus' skull open and consumed his brain, which disgusted Athena so that she gave up her intent of making Tydeus immortal. Herodotus relates how in historical times, Cleisthenes abolished the hero cult of Adrastus in Sicyon in favor of that of Melanippus. ⁕Melanippus, son of Hicetaon and a native of Percote. He fought under Hector, willing to avenge the death of his cousin Dolops, and was killed by Antilochus during the Trojan War.
