Alipherus and his siblings were the most nefarious and carefree of all people. To test them, Zeus visited them in the form of a peasant. 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.[6]
