=Archemŏrus=, or =Opheltes=, son of Lycurgus king of Nemæa, in Thrace, by Eurydice, was brought up by Hypsipyle queen of Lemnos, who had fled to Thrace, and was employed as a nurse in the king’s family. Hypsipyle was met by the army of Adrastus, who was going against Thebes: and she was forced to show them a fountain where they might quench their thirst. To do this more expeditiously, she put down the child on the grass, and at her return found him killed by a serpent. The Greeks were so afflicted at this misfortune, that they instituted games in honour of Archemorus, which were called Nemæan, and king Adrastus enlisted among the combatants, and was victorious. _Apollodorus_, bks. 2 & 3.――_Pausanias_, bk. 8, ch. 48.――_Statius_, _Thebiad_, bk. 6. =Archepŏlis=, a man in Alexander’s army, who conspired against the king with Dymnus. _Curtius_, bk. 6, ch. 7. =Archeptolĕmus=, son of Iphitus king of Elis, went to the Trojan war, and fought against the Greeks.
