The son of king Lykurgos (Lycurgus) of Nemea who was killed in infancy by a serpent and in whose honor the Nemean Games were founded.
Arkhemoros was also referred to by the name Opheletes which implies a debt or obligation.
Arkhemoros was in the care of a woman named Hypsipyle who was an exile from the island of Lemnos; when the army of the Seven Against Thebes was passing through Nemea, Hypsipyle acted as a guide for the soldiers; while she was preoccupied with the soldiers, Arkhemoros was bitten by a snake, or dragon, and died.
Hypsipyle was granted a pardon for the child’s death and the Nemean Games were founded in memory of Arkhemoros.
His name may also be rendered as Arkhemorus or Archemorus.
