In Greek mythology, Periphas was a legendary king of Attica. He was a pious priest of Apollo, to whom Periphas made many sacrifices, and he was a just king. Periphas was so loved by his people that they paid him the honors which belonged to Zeus alone, building temples to Periphas. Zeus was determined to strike him with a thunderbolt, but because Periphas had been so faithful, Apollo asked Zeus to spare him. Zeus came down into the house of Periphas, found him in the arms of his wife Phene, and turned him into an eagle. Because Phene begged Zeus to make her a bird also, as a companion for Periphas, Zeus turned her into a vulture. Zeus placed Periphas as a guard over his sacred sceptre, and to Phene, the vulture, he granted that she become a good omen for men in all endeavors.
