Amphinomus
In Greek mythology, Amphinomus /æmˈfɪnəməs/ (Ancient Greek: Ἀμφίνομος Amphínomos; literally "grazing all about"), was the son of King Nisos and one of the suitors of Penelope.
Mythology
Amphinomus was considered the best-behaved of the suitors. Despite Odysseus's warning, he was compelled by Athena to stay, as he had been a suitor nonetheless. He was killed by a spear thrown by Telemachus during the murder of the suitors; ironically, Amphinomous had twice tried to dissuade the suitors from killing Telemachus.[1]
