Aristomachus

A son of Cleodaeus, and great-grandson of Heracles, was the father of Temenus, Cresphontes, and Aristodemus. He marched into the Peloponnese at the time when Tisamenus, the son of Orestes, ruled over the peninsula; but his expedition failed as he had misunderstood the oracle, and he fell in battle.
