Neleides or Nelides ( /ˈniːliɪdz/ NEEL-ee-idz; Ancient Greek: Nηλείδης; also Neleiades, Νηληιάδης, and Neleius), in the plural Neleidae ( Ancient Greek: Νηλεῖδαι), 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]
