InGreek mythology,Hyperphas (Ancient Greek:Ὑπέρφαντος) was a leader of thePhlegyans and an ally of theThebans. He was the father ofEuryganeia who, according toPausanias, marriedOedipus after the death ofIocaste; Pausanias also maintains that it was she, and not Iocaste, who bore Oedipus his four children (Eteocles,Polynices,Antigone andIsmene). Defending this version, Pausanias refers to the poemOedipodea and to a painting byOnasias, which depicted Euryganeia in grief over the conflict between her sons.^[1]

According toHesiod, Hyperphas had another daughter,Euryanassa, who became the mother ofMinyas byPoseidon.^[2]
