Page "Amphiaraus" Paragraph 1

In Greek mythology, Amphiaraus ( or Amphiaraos, " doubly cursed " or " twice Ares-like ") was the son of Oecles and Hypermnestra, and husband of Eriphyle.

Amphiaraus was the King of Argos along with Adrastus — the brother of Amphiaraus ' wife, Eriphyle — and Iphis.

Amphiaraus was a seer, and greatly honored in his time.

Both Zeus and Apollo favored him, and Zeus gave him his oracular talent.

In the generation before the Trojan War, Amphiaraos was one of the heroes present at the Calydonian Boar Hunt.
