'''Psycharpax''' is the name of the mouse-prince in [[Homer|Homer's]] comic epic [[Batrachomyomachia]], or the "Battle of the Frogs and Mice".

Psycharpax, escaping a hunting [[cat]], stops to take a drink at a lake, and upon doing so meets the [[frog]] king Physignathus. The frog offers to show his kingdom to Psycharpax, who jumps on his back. In the middle of the lake they come across a water [[snake]] and the frog dives to escape, resulting in the mouse being drowned. The whole episode is witnessed by another mouse on the shore, who blames Physignathus and so starts a war with the frogs.<ref>{{Cite book| title=The Battle of the Frogs and Mice.
