In
Greek mythology,
Hyperphas was a leader of the Phlegyans and an ally of the
Thebans. He was the father of
Euryganeia who, according to
Pausanias, married
Oedipus after the death of
Iocaste; Pausanias also maintains that it was she, and not Iocaste, who bore Oedipus his four children (
Eteocles,
Polynices,
Antigone and
Ismene). Defending this version, Pausanias refers to the poem
Oedipodea and to a painting by Onasias which depicted Euryganeia in grief over the conflict between her sons.
