In the genealogy given by Herodotus, someone may have grafted the tradition of a Lydian son of Heracles at the top end of it, so that Ninus and Belus in the list now become descendants of Heracles, who just happen to bear the same names as the more famous Ninus and Belus. </p><p>That, at least, is the interpretation of later chronologists who also ignored Herodotus' statement that Agron was the first to be a king, and included Alcaeus, Belus, and Ninus in their <a href="/wiki/List_of_kings_of_Lydia" title="List of kings of Lydia">List of kings of Lydia</a>. </p><p>As to how Agron gained the kingdom from the older dynasty descended from <a href="/wiki/Lydus" title="Lydus">Lydus</a> son of <a href="/wiki/Atys_of_Lydia" title="Atys of Lydia">Atys</a>, Herodotus only says that the Heraclids, "having been entrusted by these princes with the management of affairs, obtained the kingdom by an oracle." </p><p><a href="/wiki/Strabo" title="Strabo">Strabo</a> (5.2.2) makes Atys father of Lydus, and <a href="/wiki/Tyrrhenus" title="Tyrrhenus">Tyrrhenus</a> to be one of the descendants of Heracles and Omphale. But all other accounts place Atys, Lydus, and Tyrrhenus brother of Lydus among the pre-Heraclid kings of Lydia. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_art">In art</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Omphale&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: In art"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lucas_Cranach_d.%C3%84._-_Herkules_bei_Omphale_(Herzog_Anton_Ulrich-Museum).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Lucas_Cranach_d.%C3%84._-_Herkules_bei_Omphale_%28Herzog_Anton_Ulrich-Museum%29.jpg/220px-Lucas_Cranach_d.%C3%84._-_Herkules_bei_Omphale_%28Herzog_Anton_Ulrich-Museum%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="152" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Lucas_Cranach_d.%C3%84._-_Herkules_bei_Omphale_%28Herzog_Anton_Ulrich-Museum%29.jpg/330px-Lucas_Cranach_d.%C3%84._-_Herkules_bei_Omphale_%28Herzog_Anton_Ulrich-Museum%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Lucas_Cranach_d.%C3%84._-_Herkules_bei_Omphale_%28Herzog_Anton_Ulrich-Museum%29.jpg/440px-Lucas_Cranach_d.%C3%84._-_Herkules_bei_Omphale_%28Herzog_Anton_Ulrich-Museum%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1400" data-file-height="966" /></a><figcaption>Hercules and Omphale's maids, by <a href="/wiki/Lucas_Cranach_the_Elder" title="Lucas Cranach the Elder">Lucas Cranach the Elder</a> </figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Hercules_at_the_feet_of_Omphale.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Hercules_at_the_feet_of_Omphale.jpg/220px-Hercules_at_the_feet_of_Omphale.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Hercules_at_the_feet_of_Omphale.jpg/330px-Hercules_at_the_feet_of_Omphale.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Hercules_at_the_feet_of_Omphale.jpg/440px-Hercules_at_the_feet_of_Omphale.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2590" data-file-height="1874" /></a><figcaption>Hercules at the feet of Omphale by Édouard Joseph Dantan</figcaption></figure> <ul><li><i><a href="/wiki/Omphale_(Destouches)" title="Omphale (Destouches)">Omphale</a></i> is an opera by the French composer <a href="/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Cardinal_Destouches" title="André Cardinal Destouches">André Cardinal Destouches</a>, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique (the <a href="/wiki/Paris_Opera" title="Paris Opera">Paris Opera</a>) on 10 November 1701.</li> <li>One of the most famous symphonic poems in a mythological series composed by the French composer <a href="/wiki/Camille_Saint-Sa%C3%ABns" title="Camille Saint-Saëns">Camille Saint-Saëns</a> in the 1870s is titled <i><a href="/wiki/Le_Rouet_d%27Omphale" title="Le Rouet d'Omphale">Le Rouet d'Omphale</a></i> ("The Spinning Wheel of Omphale") the <i>rouet</i> being a spinning wheel that the queen and her maidens used—in this version of the myth, it was Delphic <a href="/wiki/Apollo" title="Apollo">Apollo</a> who condemned the hero to serve the Lydian queen disguised as a woman.
