  Callirrhoe - LoveToKnow 1911
At her earnest request her husband induced Phegeus, king of Psophis in Arcadia, and the father of his first wife Arsinoe (or Alphesiboea), to hand over to him the necklace and peplus (robe) of Harmonia, that he might dedicate them at Delphi to complete the cure of his madness.
When Phegeus discovered that they were really meant for Callirrhoe, he gave orders for Alcmaeon to be waylaid and killed (Apollodorus iii.
This was granted, and her sons Amphoterus and Acarnan slew Phegeus with his two sons, and returning with the necklace and peplus dedicated them at Delphi (Ovid, Metam.

Phegeus 1 is the Psophian who purified Alcmaeon 1 (one of the EPIGONI) and gave him his daughter Arsinoe 1 as wife.
Alcmaeon 1 went to Psophis and told Phegeus 1 that it had been predicted that he should be rid of his madness when he had brought the Robe and Necklace to Delphi and dedicated them.
Phegeus 1 believed him and gave them to him, but a servant disclosed that Alcmaeon 1 was taking the Robe and Necklace to Callirrhoe 2.

Alcmaeon 1 then went to Psophis and told Phegeus 1, as a way of getting back the treasure, that it had been predicted that he should be rid of his madness when he had brought the Robe and Necklace to Delphi and dedicated them.
However, it is also told that the Robe and Necklace were dedicated at Delphi by the sons of Phegeus 1, and that they were kings at the time of the Trojan War, although they did not participate in that war.
This woman asked for the Necklace of Harmonia 1, that having been dedicated, either by the sons of Phegeus 1 or by the sons of Alcmaeon 1, was now hanging at Delphi in the sanctuary of Athena Forethought.

 Amphiaraus
He was pursued by the Erinyes as he fled across Greece, eventually landing the court of King Phegeus, who gave him his daughter in marriage.
Exhausted, Alcmaeon asked an oracle how to avoid the Erinyes and was told that he needed to stop where the sun was not shining when he killed his mother.
The god of that river, also named Achelous, gave him his daughter, Callirhoe in marriage if Alcmaeon would retrieve the necklace and clothes which Eriphyle wore when she persuaded Amphiaraus to take part in the battle.

 Cyprus On The Beach ... for your on-the-beach villa
Arsinoë (pronounced "Arseenoi") was the daughter of King Phegeus of Psophis and she married Alcmaeon who gave her a celebrated magic robe and necklace which Aphrodite had given to his ancestress Hammonia.
She refused to listen to their explanation, and so Phegeus locked her in a chest and presented her as a slave to the king of Nemea.
Her curse was fulfilled nevertheless, because Callirrhoë, when she heard of what had happened, prayed that her infant sons by Alcmaeon would become full grown men in a day, and they killed Phegeus and his sons.

 Alcmaeon
Alcmaeon himself participated later in the expedition of the Epigonoi and when he came from the battle unharmed, he killed his mother Eriphyle, according to his father's orders.
Pursued the Erinyes, the goddesses of vengeance, he wandered through Greece until he tried to find rest and peace with King Phegeus, who gave him the hand of his daughter.

 Alcmaeon
After the destruction of Thebes by the Epigoni, Alcmaeon carried out his father’s injunctions by killing his mother, as a punishment for which he was driven mad and pursued by the Erinyes from place to place.
On his arrival at Psophis in Arcadia, he was purified by its king Phegeus, whose daughter Arsinoe (or Alphesiboea) he married, making her a present of the fatal necklace and the peplus of Harmonia.
But the land was cursed with barrenness, and the oracle declared that Alcmaeon would never find rest until he reached a spot on which the sun had never shone at the time he slew his mother.

 Alcmaeon
Although sources differ concerning whether Alcmaeon knew about his mother's treachery before he attacked Thebes, all agree that once he returned he killed his mother, possibly with the help of his younger brother Amphilochus.
[5] He was pursued by the Erinyes and driven mad, fleeing first to Arcadia, where his grandfather Oicles ruled, and then to King Phegeus in Psophis, who purified him and gave him his daughter, Arsinoe in Apollodorus and Alphesiboea in Pausanius, in marriage.
[9][10] [11] In Apollodorus, Arsinoe, the daughter of Phegeus, chastises her brothers, who put her into a chest and sell her as a slave.[12] Meanwhile, Callirhoe prays to Zeus that her sons will grow up instantaneously so that they might take revenge on her husband's murderers.

When Alcmeon murdered his mother, he suffered the same fate as Orestes: he was driven mad by the Erinyes (Furies), and wandered for many years before Phegeus purified him at Psophis in Arcadia, and married the king's daughter, Arsinoe.
Finally the Erinyes and the madness ceased to trouble him, only to be murdered by his brother-in-laws, ordered by his first father-in-law, Phegeus.
When Callirrhoé heard of her husband's death, she prayed to the gods that her sons would grow to manhood in a single night, and avenged their father's death.
