Antimache was of Arcadian descent as the daughter of Amphidamas and the sister of Melanion, husband of the heroine Atalanta.[1] Together with her husband Eurystheus, Antimache bore the following children: Admete,[2] Alexander, Iphimedon, Eurybius, Mentor, Perimedes,[3] and possibly, Eurypylus.[4] All of her sons were killed in battle by the Athenians in the war that ensued when Athens refused to deliver the Heracleidae up to Eurystheus.[3] Alternatively, during a sacrificial meal in honor of his Twelve Labors being completed, Heracles himself slain Antimache's children: Eurybius, Perimedes and Eurypylus when they served him a smaller portion of meat than they did for themselves.[4]
