Hippotes, son of
Mimas and father of
Aeolus, the keeper of the
Winds in the Odyssey. He was a mortal king.[2]
Hippotes, a
Corinthian prince as the son of King
Creon, who accused
Medea of the murder she had committed on his sister and his father.[3] His persona was assumed by
Medeus, son of
Jason or
Aegeus and Medea, when he came to the court of King
Perses of
Colchis.[4]
Hippotes, a son of
Phylas by
Leipephilene, daughter of
Iolaus, and great-grandnephew and great-grandson of
Heracles. When the
Heracleidae, on their invading the
Peloponnesus, were encamped near
Naupactus, Hippotes killed the seer
Carnus, in consequence of which the army of the Heracleidae began to suffer very severely, and Hippotes by the command of an
oracle was banished for a period of ten years.[5] He was likely the same Hippotes who was the father of
Aletes. He seems to be the same as the Hippotes who was regarded as the founder of
Cnidus in
Caria.[6]
