Amphidamas, an Arcadian prince as son of King Lycurgus by either Cleophyle or Eurynome, and thus brother of Ancaeus, Epochus and Iasus. Amphidamas had two children: Melanion, the husband of Atalanta, and Antimache who married King Eurystheus of Tiryns.^[5]
Amphidamas, father of Nausidame who bore Helios a son, Augeas, king of Elis.^[4]

Amphidamas or Iphidamas,^[6] son of Busiris, king of Egypt,^[7] and possible brother of Melite.^[8] He was killed, alongside his father, by Heracles of whom they tried to sacrifice.^[7] Some accounts, added the herald Chalbes and the attendants to the list of those slain by the hero.^[6]
Amphidamas, a man from Cythera who was given by Autolycus a helmet to take to Scandea. This cap was previously stolen by the famous thief from the stout-built house of Amyntor, son of Ormenus. Amphidamas gave the item as a guest-gift to Molus who in turn, gave it to his son Meriones to wear. Later on, Odysseus received the helmet from Meriones himself.^[9]
Amphidamas or Amphidamus,^[10] a native of Opus and father of Clitonymus, who was killed by Patroclus over a game of dice.^[11] In some accounts, the name of the slain man was variously given as Clisonymus^[12] or Aeanes.^[13]
Amphidamas, one of the men hidden in the Trojan horse.^[14]
Amphidamas, one of the comrades of the Greek hero Odysseus.^[15] When the latter and 12 of his crew came into the port of Sicily, the Cyclops Polyphemus seized and confined them. Along with the Ithacan king and six others namely: Lycaon, Amphialos, Alkimos, Antilochus and Eurylochos, Amphidamas survived the manslaughter of his six companions by the monster.^[16]
