Periphetes (/ˌpɛrɨˈfiːtiːz/; Περιφήτης) is the name of several characters from Greek mythology.The most prominent Periphetes also known as Corynetes or the Club-Bearer was a son of Hephaestus and Anticleia. Periphetes was lame in one leg like his father and had one eye like a Cyclops. He roamed the road from Athens to Troezen where he robbed travellers and killed them with his bronze club. Theseus killed him by tricking him into giving him the club to check if it really were bronze.
