Sthenelus was the son of Perseus and Andromeda and a king of Mycenae. He exiled Amphitryon, for the murder of his brother Electryon. Amphitryon was also the lover of his niece, Alcmene. As heir, Sthenelus was the successor to the throne of Mycenae. He was in turn succeeded by his son Eurystheus, who was notorious for the Labours of Hercules, which he designed for Alcmene's son, the divine hero Heracles.
