Notes[]
The figure of Nauplius is a matter of debate among scholars, as there are three distinct yet conflated people named Nauplius who ancient Greek and Roman authors conflate and make them related.
The three Nauplius are:
- Nauplius, son of Poseidon and Amymone
- Nauplius, the Argonaut
- Nauplius, father of Palamedes
Many authors either make the demigod Nauplius to be the same as the Argonaut or the father of Palamedes but there were never any ancient sources claiming that the Argonaut and the father of Palamedes to be the same.
The other frequent account that ancient authors tell is that the demigod Nauplius is the ancestor of the Argonaut Nauplius.
