In Greek mythology, King Oebalus /ˈɛbələs/ (Ancient Greek: Οἴβαλος) of Sparta, son of Cynortas, was the second husband of Princess Gorgophone and thus son-in-law of hero Perseus. With her, he fathered Tyndareus, Icarius and Hippocoon (or, according to Apollodorus, he fathered them with the Naiad Bateia), as well as a daughter, Arene, who married her half-brother Aphareus.
Oebalus is often confused with Gorgophone’s first husband, Perieres, son of Aeolus. They are separate people, usually unrelated though Oebalus is sometimes said to be Perieres’ son.
