Archemachus (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Archemachus (Ancient Greek: Ἀρχέμαχoς) may refer to the following personages:


 * Archemachus, the Thespian son of Heracles and Patro, daughter of King Thespius of Thespiae. Archemachus and his 49 half-brothers were born of Thespius' daughters who were impregnated by Heracles in one night, for a week or in the course of 50 days while hunting for the Cithaeronian lion. Later on, the hero sent a message to Thespius to keep seven of these sons and send three of them in Thebes while the remaining forty, joined by Iolaus, were dispatched to the island of Sardinia to found a colony.
 * Archemachus, a prince of Troy as one of the sons of King Priam.
