Son of Cteatus and co-captain of the Epeians from Elis — of the blood of Actor, with ten swift ships — whom Hector smote in the breast as he came into battle and rushed to strip his helm.1
Homer sets Amphimachus and Thalpius among the four leaders of the Epeians who held Buprasium and Hyrmine and the seaboard about Olen and Alesium — ten swift ships apiece, forty in all. They were of the blood of Actor, sons the one of Cteatus and the other of Eurytus.2
When Teucer cast at Hector and missed by a little, Hector smote Amphimachus son of Cteatus, son of Actor, in the breast with his spear as he was coming into the battle; he fell with a thud and his armour clanged, and Hector rushed to tear the helm from great-hearted Amphimachus' head.3
