Amyntoros: Who says?

Post by Susa the Great »

Hello,
The second name for Hephaistion, Amyntoros, which of the ancient sources mention it?
Thanks!
Come live forever with me, or transpire / a flame alone on a funeral pire / We'll build an empire if we so desire, travel the world, and set it on fire.

Hi Susa,

Arrian, Indica 18.3. It means he was the son of Amyntor.

Best wishes,

Andrew
