Lichas ✝

Description
Lichas can also refer to Lichas the Spartan, who discovered the bones of Orestes, or a genus of trilobite

In Greek mythology, Lichas (Greek: Λίχας) was Heracles' servant, who brought the poisoned shirt from Deianira to Hercules because of Deianira's jealousy of Iole, which killed him.
