Amphistratus
Ἀμφίστρατος
(Ἀμφίστρατος) and his brother Rhecas were the charioteers of the Dioscuri. They were believed to have taken part in the expedition of Jason to Colchis, and to have occupied a part of that country which was called after them Heniochia, as ἡνίοχος signifies a charioteer. (Strab. xi. p.495; Just. 42.3.) Pliny (Plin. Nat. 6.5) calls them Amphitus and Thelchius. (Comp. Mela, 1.19.110; Isidor. Orig. 15.1; Ammian. Marcellin. 22.8.)
