Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index In Greek mythology, Nauplius was the son of Poseidon and Amymone. He founded Nauplia (modern Nafplion) in Argolis. He was married to Philyra. King of Euboea, father of Palamedes. His wife was Clymene. His son was killed by the Greeks in the Trojan War and, in vengeance, Nauplius set fires on his island, misdirecting the Greek ships, many of which sank as a result. (Note: An alternative version says Palamedes was killed by the Trojans, his allies) This is a disambiguation page; that is, one that just points to other pages that might otherwise have the same name.
