Neleides or Nelides (/ˈniːliɪdz/ NEEL-ee-idz; Ancient Greek: Nηλείδης; also Neleiades, Νηληιάδης, and Neleius), in the plural Neleidae (Ancient Greek: Νηλεῖδαι), was a patronymic of ancient Greece derived from Neleus, son of the Greek god Poseidon, and was used to refer to his descendants.
[1] In literature, this name typically designated either Nestor, the son of Neleus, or Antilochus, his grandson.
[2][3][4] One notable offshoot of this family line was the Alcmaeonidae.
