In Greek mythology, Ascalaphus or Askalaphus ( /əˈskæləfəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀσκάλαφος Askalaphos), was son of Ares [1] and the Minyan princess Astyoche, [2] daughter of King Actor of Orchomenus. Ascalaphus was also a king of the Minyans, and twin brother of Ialmenos. [3] These brothers were counted among the Argonauts [3] and the suitors of Helen, [4] and led the Orchomenian contingent in the Trojan War, [5] where Deiphobos threw a spear and killed him. [6]
