Phaestus

（*Fa=istos), a son of Rhopalus, and grandson of Heracles, was king of Sicyon, from whence he emigrated to Crete. (Paus. 2.6.3.) He is said to have established at Sicyon the custom of worshipping Heracles as a god, since before he had only been honoured as a hero, (Paus. 2.10. § l; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 313.) A second Phaestus wis a son of Borus, of Tarne, in Maeonia, and was slain by Idomeneus at Troy (Hom. Il. 5.431.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
