In Greek mythology Licymnius (Greek: Λικύμνιος) was a good friend of Heracles’ and an illegitimate son of Electryon King of Tiryns and Mycenae in the Argolid (which makes him half-brother of Alcmene mother of Heracles). His mother is given as Mideia a Phrygian woman. One source mentions Alco (Ἀλκώ) as his sister.Licymnius was the only one of Electryon’s sons to return home after the unsuccessful war against the Taphians and Teleboans.
