Mygdon of Bebryces
King
Mygdon of the
Bebryces was killed by
Heracles on the way to
Pontus to complete his ninth labour, which was to fetch the
belt of Queen
Hippolyte of the
Amazons. After Heracles killed Mygdon, he gave his former lands to
Lycus, who renamed the place
Heraclea in honour of Heracles.
