In Greek mythology, Periphetes, also known as Corynetes or the Club-Bearer, was a son of Hephaestus and Anticleia. Like his father, he was lame in one leg. He lived in Epidauros, where he robbed travellers and killed them with his iron club. Theseus killed him and afterwards used the club as his own weapon. He was mentioned in Apollodorus 3.15.8 and Pausanias 2.1.4
