Amphimedon


 * For the genus of sponge, see Amphimedon (sponge)

In Homer's Odyssey, Amphimedon (Ἀμφιμέδων) was the Ithacan son of Melaneus and one of the suitors of Penelope.

Mythology
While retreating from Odysseus's party during the final stages of the battle in the latter's hall, Amphimedon gave a glancing blow to the carapace of Telemachus, to whom he fell shortly afterwards. In the Underworld, he told the story of the suitors' slaughter by Odysseus and Telemachus.
