Amycus was a doughty man but being a king he compelled strangers to box as a way of killing them.[2] When the Argonauts passed through Bithynia, Amycus challenged the best man of the crew to a boxing match. Polydeuces undertook to box against him and killed him with a blow on the elbow.[3]
When the Bebryces rush to avenge him, the chiefs snatched up their arms and put them to flight with great slaughter.
Bay/Portedit
During ancient times, the bay at modern Beykoz was called Amykos.[4]
