Phegeus

(Φηγεύς).

1. A brother of Phoroneus, and king of Psophis in Arcadia. The town of Phegeia, which had before been called Erymanthus, was believed to have derived its name from him. Subsequently, however, it was changed again into Psophis (Steph. Byz. s. v. Φήγεια Paus. 8.24.1). He is said to have been the father of Alphesiboea or Arsinoe, Pronous, and Agenor, or of Temenus and Axion (Paus. 6.17.4, 8.24.4, 9.41.2; Apollod. 3.7.6); and to have purified Alcmaeon after he had killed his mother, but was slain by the sons of Alcmaeon. (Apollod. l.c. ; camp. Alcmiabon.)

Phegeus

(Φηγεύς). A king of Psophis in Arcadia. He was the father of Arsinoë, Pronoüs, Agenor, Temenus, and Axion. He purified Alcmaeon (q.v.) after he had slain his mother, and gave him Arsinoë (or Alphesiboea) in marriage. Alcmaeon presented her with the necklace and peplus of Harmonia; but wishing to get them back for his new wife, Callirrhoë, he was slain by the sons of Phegeus at their father's bidding. The sons of Alcmaeon then put Phegeus to death (Pausan. vi. 17, 4; viii. 24, 4; ix. 41, 2; Apollod.iii.7.6).
