Amphitryon was a Theban General (from the Greek city/state of Thebes ) who was originally from Tiryns (tirynia city/state) in the eastern part of the Peloponnese.

Having accidentally killed his father-in-law Electryon, king of Mycenae, Amphitryon was driven out by another uncle, Sthenelus. He fled with Alcmene, Electryon's daughter, to the city of Thebes, Greece where he was cleansed from the guilt of blood by Creon, his maternal uncle, King of Thebes.
