Diomedes

Diomedes was a demigod from Greek mythology.

Heracles
Diomedes was a barbaric king of the Bistones in Thrace tribe who raised four horses on human flesh which caused them to eat any human who became available to them. As one of his labors, Heracles was sent to fetch these horses. After capturing the horses, Heracles had Abderus watch over them while he fought and killed Diomedes. When Heracles returned, he found that the horses had eaten Abderos so Heracles fed them the body of Diomedes which removed their hunger for human flesh and returned them to normal horses.
