Mythology
While retreating from Odysseus's party during the final stages of the battle in the latter's hall, Amphimedon gave a glancing blow to the carapace of Telemachus, to whom he fell shortly afterwards.[2][3] In the Underworld, he told the story of the suitors' slaughter by Odysseus and Telemachus.[4]
