Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Iphikles
The half-brother of Herakles (Heracles) and the son of Alkmene (Alcmene) and Amphitryon.
Although the two men, Herakles and Iphikles, were conceived on the same night, they had different fathers and were very different in heart and mind.
Iphikles was the son of the mortal Amphitryon and Herakles was the son of the almighty Zeus; as a young man, Iphikles lost his wits and deserted his father’s home and went to live with Eurystheus (the man who sent Herakles on his Twelve Labors).
