or Halipherus (Ancient Greek: Ἀλίφηρος or Ἀλιφήρου) was in Greek mythology, an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon[1][2] either by the naiad Cyllene,[3] Nonacris[4] or by unknown woman.
Alipherus and his siblings were the most nefarious and carefree of all people.
These brothers mixed the entrails of a child into the god's meal, whereupon the enraged king of the gods threw the meal over the table.
Alipherus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.
[5] The town of Aliphera in Greece was traditionally believed to have been founded by this Alipherus, and to have derived its name from him.
