Alipherus[pronunciation?] or Halipherus (Gr. Ἀλίφηρος) was in Greek mythology one of the sons of Lycaon.[1] He was killed, along with his brothers, by a lightning bolt, for his insolence.[2] The town of Alifeira in Greece was traditionally believed to have been founded by this Alipherus, and to have derived its name from him.[3][4]
