Pirithous (/ˌpaɪˈrɪθoʊ.əs/; 'to run around') or 
Perithous, in Greek mythology, was the King 
of the Lapiths of Larissa in Thessaly, as well 
as the best friend to Theseus. Pirithous was 
a son of Dia, fathered either by Zeus or Ixion. 
He married Hippodamia, daughter of Atrax or

Lapiths and Centaurs occurred. By his wife, he 
became the father of Polypoetes, one of the 
Greek leaders during the Trojan War.
