Perimedes was killed by the Athenians in the war that ensued when Athens refused to deliver the Heracleidae up to Eurystheus. Alternately, Perimedes, along with his brothers Eurybius and Eurypylus, was slain by Heracles when at a sacrificial meal in honor of his Twelve Labors being completed they served him a smaller portion of meat than they did for themselves.
