Harpalus (Ancient Greek: Ἁρπάλου), in Greek mythology, was a Spartan prince as the son of King Amyclas of Laconia,[1] and possibly Diomede, daughter of Lapithes. Through this parentage, he was considered to be the brother of King Argalus,[2] King Cynortes,[3] Hyacinthus,[4] Polyboea,[5] Laodamia[6] (or Leanira[7]), Hegesandre,[8] and in other versions, of Daphne.[9]
Harpalus was the father of Deritus, ancestor of Patreus, founder of Patras.[1]
