Leucaspis

In Greek mythology, Leucaspis (Ancient Greek: Λεύκασπις) was a Sicani prince who entered into combat with Heracles when he passed through Sicily, on return from the country of Geryon.

In the combat Leucaspis died along with a great number of noble compatriots, and he became a cult. [1][2]
