Alexiares and Anicetus

Classical genealogical summaries record Alexiares and Anicetus as the sons of Hebe (goddess of youth) and Heracles after Heracles' apotheosis. The primary attestations in the provided modern compilations present this parentage but do not preserve a narrative birth-myth or attendant story; their origin is therefore stated in genealogical terms in later summaries (see Wikipedia entry and theoi.com).

The provided sources give no detailed iconography or physical description for Alexiares and Anicetus. They are consistently identified only as divine or demi-god sons of Hebe and Heracles; no surviving descriptions of age, dress, attributes, or depictions are documented in the cited summaries.

Ancient and modern secondary summaries associate Alexiares and Anicetus with defence and guardianship. Theoi.com titles them 'Greek Demi-Gods of Defence' and describes them as presiding 'over the defence,' and modern online summaries and forum mentions extend this to characterize them as guardians or gatekeepers (sometimes said to watch the gates of Olympus alongside Heracles). Classical primary narratives or detailed accounts of specific deeds or powers are not preserved in the supplied materials; assertions about defensive or gatekeeping functions derive from later compilations and modern summaries (theoi.com, Wikipedia, and related references).
