In Greek mythology, Poriclymenus (or Periclymenus) was a name attributed to two different individuals. Poriclymenus was a son of Poseidon and Chloris and would-be murderer of Amphiaraus in the battle for Thebes. Amphiaraus was swallowed by the earth before he could kill him though. Poriclymenus was also the son of Neleus and one of the Argonauts. Poseidon gave him the ability to shapeshift in various animals. He was killed by Heracles at Pylos.
