Epochus

In Greek mythology, the name Epochus (Ancient Greek: Ἔποχος) may refer to:

  • Epochus, a son of Lycurgus of Arcadia.[1][2] Epochus participated in the Calydonian Hunt together with his brother Ancaeus: Pausanias describes a painting in the Tegean temple of Athena Alea, which portrays, among others, Epochus supporting Ancaeus who had been wounded by the boar.[3] Later on, Epochus fell ill and died, and was outlived by their father Lycurgus who reached an extreme old age.[4]
  • Epochus, one of the two brothers of Oenoe (the eponym of a deme in Attica) that were portrayed on the altar of Nemesis in Rhamnous.[5]
