Timalcus

Timalcus is presented as a Megarian prince in classical genealogical tradition, described as a son of Megareus (the eponymous king of Megara) and Iphinoe, daughter of King Nisus of Megara. He appears within the network of dynastic and heroic relationships that link Megarian royal families to other figures of the heroic age; beyond these familial attributions, the sources provide no birth narrative or foundational myth for him.

Primary sources provide no physical description of Timalcus. He is known only from genealogical listings and brief narrative mention; therefore his appearance is not recorded in the available material and he survives in the record solely by name and familial associations.

No supernatural powers or special abilities are attested for Timalcus in the available sources. All references treat him as a mortal member of a royal house and as a participant or casualty in heroic-era conflicts — notably as having been killed by the hero Theseus during a campaign involving the Dioscuri against Aphidnae.
