Pala medes Greek Son of Nauplius, a king of Euboea, and his wife Clymene, a granddaughter of King Minos of Crete. One of the Greek heroes who fought against Troy in the Trojan War. When Odysseus feigned idiocy, in his attempt to avoid joining the Greek army on its way to Troy, Palamedes put Telemachus, son of Odysseus, in the path of his father's plow. Odysseus avoided running down his infant son, showing that he was sane, and was forced to join the army. In revenge, Odysseus concocted a plot against Palamedes, accusing him of treachery against the Greeks. The army stoned Palamedes to death. Palamedes is described as a sage, and he is credited with inventing certain letters of the Greek alphabet and for inventing dice, measures and scales, lighthouses, and the discus.
