Aristodemus
In Greek mythology, Aristodemus was a son of Aristomachus and brother of Cresphontes and Temenus. He was a great-great-grandson of Heracles and helped lead the fifth and final attack on Mycenae in the Peloponnesus.... . The dates of his work cannot be ascertained accurately, but it belongs in all probability to the Alexandrine period, not earlier than the 3rd century BCE. According to Pausanias
Pausanias (geographer)
Pausanias was a Roman Greece traveller and geographer of the 2nd century AD, who lived in the times of Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius.... he was an author on whose accuracy very little reliance could be placed. For example, both Diodorus and Myron placed Aristomenes
Aristomenes
Aristomenes was a king of Messenia, celebrated for his struggle with the Spartans, and his resistance to them on Mount Ira for 11 years. At length the mountain fell to the enemy, while he escaped and was snatched up by the gods; he died at Rhodes.... in the first Messenian war, which is not universally accepted as accurate.
