Neleides
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neleides or Nelides (/ˈniːliɪdz/ Script error: No such module "Respell".; Template:Langx; also Neleiades, Script error: No such module "Lang"., and Neleius), in the plural Neleidae (Template:Langx), was a patronymic of ancient Greece derived from Neleus, son of the Greek god Poseidon, and was used to refer to his descendants.[1] In literature, this name typically designated either Nestor, the son of Neleus, or Antilochus, his grandson.[2][3][4] One notable offshoot of this family line was the Alcmaeonidae.[5]
