Rhopalus (Son of Heracles)

Rhopalus (ancient Greek Ῥόπαλος Rhópalos) is the son of Heracles in Greek mythology.

While Eustathius of Thessalonica calls him the father of Phaistos, Pausanias reports that Phaistos is also a son of Heracles.

Photios I says that Rhopalus was the first to sacrifice to his father Heracles as to a god, while Pausanias attributes this to Phaistos.
