Alexiares and Anicetus

According to the Bibliotheca of Apollodorus, Anicetus (Ancient Greek: Ἀνίκητος, lit. 'unconquered, unconquerable')^[1] and Alexiares (Ἀλεξιάρης) are sons of the goddess Hebe and Heracles (after his apotheosis).^[2]

Cult

There is evidence suggesting that Anicetus and Alexiares might have been worshipped in places such as Thebes and Rhodes.^[3] However, due to the scarcity of historical records, the exact nature and extent of their cult are uncertain.^[4]
