Eurytiôn (Kentauroi Thessalioi)

## Classical Text (this isn't helpful if you need to know what was different about this kind of Centaur)

"The sculptures in the front pediment are by Paeonius, who came from Mende in Thrace;23 those in the back pediment are by Alcamenes,24 a contemporary of Pheidias, ranking next after him for skill as a sculptor. What he carved on the pediment is the fight between the Lapithae and the Centaurs at the marriage of Peirithous. In the center of the pediment is Peirithous.25 On one side of him is Eurytion, who has seized the wife of Peirithous, with Caeneus bringing help to Peirithous, and on the other side is Theseus defending himself against the Centaurs with an axe. One Centaur has seized a maid, another a boy in the prime of youth. Alcamenes, I think, carved this scene, because he had learned from Homer's26 poem that Peirithous was a son of Zeus, and because he knew that Theseus was a great grandson of Pelops."
- *Pausanias, Description of Greece 5.10.8*
Glaukus (Son of Priam)

**Glakus** was one of the illegitimate sons of King Priam. He was slain in battle while the Greeks were recovering the body of Akhilles.

Hermos

Hermos was a river-god of Lydia in Anatolia (modern Turkey).

The River Hermos flowed through central Lydia emptying into the Aegean Sea near Mount Sipylos. Its headwaters were located on Mount Dindymos in central Phrygia with numerous small tributaries feeding it from the Lydian Mount Tmolos. The most significant of these was the gold-filled stream of the Paktôlos. Important neighboring rivers included the Kaikos to the north, and the Mêlês and Kaystros to the south. The nearby Lake Gygaiê was also personified as a god.

Eurynomê

Eurynomê was one of the elder Okeanides and the Titan-goddess of water-meadows and pasturelands. She was the third of the brides of Zeus who bore him the Kharites (Charites), goddesses of grace and beauty. Her name means "She of Broad-Pastures" from the Greek words *eurys* "wide" or "broad" and *nomia* "pasture."
Kyamitês

Kyamitês (Cyamites) was the demi-god or hero of the cultivation of beans--or, more specifically, of the broad bean (species *Vicia faba*). He was one of the deities of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Kyamitês was sometimes depicted amongst the Eleusinian companions of the goddess Demeter in ancient Athenian vase-painting and sculpture.
Eurytion (King of Phthia)

Eurytion was the swift son of either of Irus and Demonassa, or of Kenethos and Cerion, and father of Antigone. His father was also called Aktor, king of Phthia who otherwise known as his grandfather for Irus was the son of Actor. If Eurytion's father was Irus, he was the brother of Eurydamas, also an Argonaut.

When Peleus fled away from Aegina because of the murder of his half-brother Phokus, he was received and purified by Eurytion at his Phthian court. In addition, the king also offered the son of Aeacus a third part of the kingdom to rule over and his daughter Antigone to marry.

In the times when the voyage of the Argonauts took place, Eurytion was known to let his hair grew until he was safe at home again. Together with his son-in-law, he also goes to Calydon to answer the call from King Oeneus to kill the Kalydonian Boar which ravaged the said country. There, along with the other hunters, they were hospitably entertained by the king for ten days and during the hunt, Peleus forcefully thrown a spear that missed the giant wild hog but inadvertently struck his father-in-law. Eurytion died in the woods caused by that deadly wound in his chest while Peleus then fled from Phthia to Iolkus, where he was purified by King Acastus. Later on, the hero brought together many sheep and cattle and led them to Irus as blood money for the slaying of his son but Irus would not accept this price from Peleus and sent him away.
Eurysakes

Eurysakes (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυσάκην) in Greek mythology was the son of the Ajax and the former-princess captive-slave girl Tekmessa. He was venerated in Athens. Eurysaces was named after his father's famous shield. In Sophocles' tragedy Ajax, the protagonist hands the shield to his young son before committing suicide. Eurysaces was then taken to Ajax's native land, Salamis Island, and he soon became king there. Eurysaces's uncle Teucer, founded the town of Salamis on Cyprus, and later attempted to return to the island, but he was repelled by Eurysaces. Teucer later established Galacia in Spain. Sophocles wrote a play titled Eurysaces, but only one quotation from it survives.
Glaukos of Lykia

Glaukos (Γλαῦκος) whose name means "shiny", "bright" or "bluish-green" was a son of Hippolokhos and a grandson of the hero, Bellerophon. He was a captain in the Lykian army under the command of his close friend and cousin Sarpedon. The Lykians in the Trojan War were allies of Troy. During the war Glaukos fought valiantly.

## Mythology

In the *Iliad*, he met Diomedes in the field of battle in face to face combat. In response to Diomedes' challenge to him, Glaukos said that as a grandson of Bellerophon, he would fight anybody. Upon learning of Glaukos' ancestry, Diomedes planted his spear in the ground and told of how his grandfather Oeneus was a close friend of Bellerophon, and declared that the two of them despite being on opposing sides should continue the friendship. As a sign of friendship, Diomedes took off his bronze armor worth nine oxen and gave it to Glaukos. Glaukos then had his wits taken by Zeus and gave Diomedes his golden armor, said to be worth 100 oxen.

Glaukos was in the division of Sarpedon and Asteropaios when the Trojans assaulted the Greek wall. Their division fought valiantly, allowing Hector to break through the wall. During this assault, Teucer shot Glaucus with an arrow, wounding him and forcing him to withdraw from combat. Later, upon seeing Sarpedon mortally wounded, Glaukos prayed to Apollo, asking him to help him to rescue the body of his dying friend. Apollo cured his wound, allowing Glaukos to rally the Trojans around the body of Sarpedon until the gods carried the body away. Later in the war, when the fighting over Akhilles' corpse took place, Glaukos was killed by Ajax the Greater. His body, however, was rescued by Aeneas and was then taken by Apollo to Lycia for funeral rites.
Ekheklos

## Classical Text

“Another sight still comes before my eyes, the centaur Phaeocomes with his log. He wore six lion skins well wrapped around his body, and with fixed connecting knots they covered him, both horse and man. He hurled a trunk two yokes of oxen scarce could move and struck the hapless son of Olenus a crushing blow upon the head. The broad round dome was shattered, and his dying brains oozed out through hollow nostrils, mouth, and ears, as curdled milk seeps down through oaken twigs; or other liquors, crushed out under weights, flow through a well-pierced sieve and, thick, squeeze out through numerous holes. As he began to spoil his victim—and your father can affirm the truth of this—I thrust my sword deep in the wretch's groin. Chthonius, too, and Teleboas fell there by my sword. The former had a two-pronged stick as his sole weapon, and the other had a spear, with which the wounded me. You see the scar. The old scar still is surely visible! Those were my days of youth and strength, and then I ought to have warred against the citadel of Pergama. I could have checked, or even vanquished, the arms of Hector: but, alas, Hector had not been born, or was perhaps a boy. Old age has dulled my youthful strength. What use is it, to speak of Periphas, who overcame Pyretus, double-formed? Why tell of Ampyx, who with pointless shaft, victorious thrust Echeclus through the face? Macareus, hurling a heavy crowbar pierced Erigdupus and laid him low. A hunting spear that Nessus strongly hurled, was buried in the groin of Cymelus. Do not believe that Mopsus, son of Ampycus, was merely a prophet of events to come, he slew a daring two-formed monster there. Hodites tried in vain to speak, before his death, but could not, for his tongue was nailed against his chin, his chin against his throat.

"Of the Centaurs which were killed the most renowned were Daphnis, Argeius, Amphion, also Hippotion, Oreius, Isoples, Malanchaetes, and Thereus, Doupon, and Phrixus. As for those who escaped the peril by flight, every one of them later received a fitting punishment: Homadus, for instance, was killed in Arcadia when he was attempting to violate Alcyonê, the sister of Eurystheus. And for this feat it came to pass that Heracles was marveled at exceedingly; for though he had private grounds for hating his enemy, yet because he pitied her who was being outraged, he determined to be superior to others in humanity."

Eurydike (Danaid)

Eurydike was one of the twelve Daniads born to King Danaus and Polyxô. Eurydike like her sisters and half-sisters took part in the mass marriage of the sons of Aigyptos. The night of the marriage Eurydike like her other sisters and half-sisters murdered their respective husbands (with the exception of Hypemnestra). She and her sisters did so with daggers provided to them by their own father.

Epeius of Phokis

In Greek mythology, **Epeius** (Ἐπειός) or **Epeus**, a Greek soldier during the Trojan War or in some accounts, even one of the Achaean Leaders during the said war leading a contingent of 30 ships from the islands of the Cyclades. He was also the architect who constructed the Wooden Horse with the help of which the Achaeans could take Troy; he was himself among those warriors who hid inside it.

## Family

### Parents

Epeus was the son of Panopeus, son of Phocus and Asterodia.

## Mythology

Epeius had the reputation for being a coward but in the *Iliad* he was victorious after participating in the boxing match against Euryalus at the funeral games in honour of Patroclus. Later during the funeral games for Achilles he fought Acamas the son of Theseus to a stalemate. He built the Trojan Horse, commissioned by Odysseus because Athena had told him in a dream she would be with him to help build it. The horse was hollow and was large enough to hold 30 Greek soldiers equipped with all their armor but Epeius made the Trojan horse so tall that it could not fit through any of the gates of Troy. The trap door of the horse was fastened with a special catch that only Epeius could undo. After constructing the massive horse, he chose the other 29 soldiers that would accompany him inside the horse. He also founded Pisa and Metapontum.

*(Diodorus Siculus 4.12.7)*
Hagnô

Hagno (Ἁγνω) whose name means "pure" or "holy" was the Naiad-nymph of a spring on Mount Lykaios in Arkadia who waters could generate rain-clouds. She was one of Arkadian wet-nurses of the infant god Zeus alongside Neda and Theisoa.

Hagno was probably numbered amongst the Okeanides and Nephelai.

## Classical Text

"There is a place on Mount Lykaios (Lycaeus) called Kretea (Cretea) [in Arkadia] . . . The Arkadians claim that the Krete (Crete), where the Kretan story has it that Zeus was reared, was this place and not the island. The Nymphai (Nymphs), by whom they say that Zeus was reared, they call Theisoa, Neda and Hagno . . . From Neda the river Neda takes its name; from Hagno a spring on Mount Lykaios, which like the Danube flows with an equal volume of water in winter just as in the season of summer. Should a drought persist for a long time, and the seeds in the earth and the trees wither, then the priest of Zeus Lykaion (Lycaeum), after praying towards the water and making the usual sacrifices, lowers an oak branch to the surface of the spring, not letting it sink deep. When the water has been stirred up there rises a vapour, like mist; after a time the mist becomes cloud, gathers to itself other clouds, and makes rain fall on the land of the Arkadians."

- *Pausanias, Description of Greece 8. 38. 2*
Eurôtas

Eurôtas was a river-god of Lakedaimonia in the Peloponnese, southern Greece. He was an early king of the region and possessed a mortal, rather than typical river-god, genealogy.

The River Eurôtas had its headwaters in the Taygetos Mountains and flowed south through the heart of Lakonia, past the city of Sparta, to reach the Mediterranean Sea near Helos on the Lakonian Gulf. The most important neighboring rivers personified by the Greeks were the Inakhos of Argos to the north-east and the Alpheios of Arkadia and Elis to the north-west.

Dryope

Dryope is a Hamadryades (a group of Dryad nymphs  in the forest near Oxylosis).and Naiad nymph of a poplar tree and spring on Mount Oita in Dryopia (Doris), central Greece. She was originally a Dryopian princess and friend to the original Hamadryades .  Dryope was seduced by Apollo but married Andraemon.  Soon after she gave birth to Apollo's son Amphissus.  When Dryope's son grew up, he built the town of Oeta, and a temple to Apollo.  One day as Dryope was approaching the temple, the Hamadryades gathered her up affectionately and hid her in the woods. In her place they caused a poplar to appear out of the ground. Beside it they made a spring to gush forth. Dryope was changed from mortal to Nymph.  Dryope now became a nymph, and Amphissus built a temple to the nymphs, which no woman was allowed to approach.
Imbreus

## Classical Text

"Victorious, then rushed he upon Evagrus, and Corythus and Dryas. First of these was youthful Corythus, whose cheeks were then just covered with soft down. When he fell dead, Evagrus cried, `What glory do you get, killing a boy?’ But Rhoetus did not give him time for uttering one word more. He pushed the red hot stake into the foeman's mouth, while he still spoke, and down into his lungs. He then pursued the savage Dryas, while whirling the red fire fast about his head; but not with like success, for, while he still rejoiced in killings, Dryas turned and pierced him with a stake where neck and shoulder meet. Rhoetus groaned and with a great effort pulled the stake out from the bone, then fled away, drenched in his blood. And Orneus followed him. Lycabas fled, and Medon with a wound in his right shoulder. Thaumas and Pisenor and Mermerus fled with them. Mermerus, who used to excell all others in a race, ran slowly, crippled by a recent wound. Pholus and Melaneus ran for their lives and with them Abas, hunter of wild boars and Asbolus, the augur, who in vain had urged his friends to shun that hapless fight. As Nessus joined the rout, he said to him, `You need not flee, for you shall be reserved a victim for the bow of Hercules!’ But neither Lycidas, Eurynomus nor Areos, nor Imbreus had escaped from death: for all of these the strong right hand of Dryas pierced, as they confronted him. Crenaeus there received a wound in front. Although he turned in flight, as he looked back, a heavy javelin between his eyes pierced through him, where his nose and forehead joined.
- Ovid, Metamorphoses 12.290-12.315 (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.)
Erasinos

Erasinos (Ερασινος) was a river-god of Arkadia and Argos in the Peloponnese, southern Greece.

The Erasinos stream arose near Lake Stymphalos in Arkadia and flowed south through Argolis to empty into the Argolic Gulf near the town of Lerna. The most important neighboring river was the Inakhos.

Epimetheus

Epimetheus was the Titan god of afterthought and excuses. He and his brother Promêtheus were given the task of populating the earth with animals and men. However, Epimetheus quickly exhausted the supply of gifts allotted for the task in the equipment of animals, leaving Promêtheus' masterpiece, mankind, completely helpless. As a result the Titan brother was forced to steal fire from heaven to arm them. Zeus was angered by this theft and ordered the creation of Pandora, the first woman, as a means to deliver evil into the house of man. Despite the warnings of his brother, Epimetheus happily received her as his bride, but as soon as she arrived she lifted the lid of a jar entrusted her by the gods, releasing a plague of harmful daimones (spirits) to trouble mankind. Only Hope (Elpis) remained behind to succor the unfortunate race.

Epimetheus' name was derived from the Greek words epi-, epeita, and mêtis, and means "afterthought" or "late counselling." Pindar calls Afterthought (Epimetheus) the father of Excuse (Prophasis). He was the proverbial fool.
Euippe (Danaid-Daughter of Danaus and an Ethiopian woman)

Euippe (sometimes spelled Evippe) who shares her name with another of the Daniads) was one of the fifty daughters of Danaus.  Euippe was part of the mass marriage of the daughters of Danaus to the sons of Aigyptos.  Euippe like all her sisters and half-sisters (except Hypermnestra) killed their spouse on the night of the marriage.  Euippe's victaim was Agrius.
Hamadryades

The Hamadryades were eight Dryad daughters of the forest-spirit Oxylos ("Of the Forest") and the nymph Hamadryas ("One With Tree") of Mount Oita (Oeta) in Malis (northern Greece).

The eight nymphs each presided over a specific type of tree:--

Aigeiros (nymph of the black poplar)
Ampelos (nymph of the vine--including the wild grape, bryony, black bryony and the wrack)
Balanis (nymph of oak-trees--such as the holm oak and prickly-cupped oak)
Karya the nymph of the nut tree--both the hazel and the walnut and perhaps also the sweet chestnut
Kraneia the nymph of the cornelian cherry-tree
Morea the nymph of the mulberry tree or else the wild olive
Ptelea (nymph of the European elm tree)
Syke the nymph of the fig tree

The parents of the Hamadryades, Oxylos and Hamadryas, may also have presided over specific species of trees--for *oxua* in Greek can mean "beech tree" (*Fagus silvatica*) in addition to generic "woodland" and *drus* is sometimes "holm oak" (*Quercus ilex*) as well as the generic word for "tree".
Harpyiai

The Harpyai or Harpies were half-bird, half-woman creatures who were the half-sisters of Iris.  They had sharp claws.  The myth they are best known for is when they harassed the blind King Phineus.  The Boreads (who also had wings) were two of the Argonauts.  They Boreads chased the Harpies away.  Phineus out of gratitude provided them with information for their quest.

Deino

Deino was one of three sea hags who personified the white foam of the sea. They were grey-haired from birth and shared amongst themselves a single, detatchable eye and tooth. The hero Perseus stole these when he was searching for the gorgons, compelling the hags to reveal the location of their sister.

The Graiai were usually depicted as old crones. According to Aeschylus, however, they were Seiren-shaped monsters with the head and arms of old women and the bodies of swans.

It is worth comparing the Graiai with the monster Lamia whom Greek writers likewise describe as a monstrous Libyan woman with removable eyes.
Gyreneus

## Classical Text

"Gryneus, seeing a smoking altar, cried, `Good use for this,’ with which words he raised up that heavy, blazing altar. Hurling it into the middle of the Lapithae, he struck down Broteas and Orius: Mycale, mother of that Orius, was famous for her incantations, which she had often used to conjure down the shining twin-horns of the unwilling moon. Exadius threatened, `You shall not escape! Let me but have a weapon!’ And with that, he whirled the antlers of a votive stag, which he found there, hung on a tall pine-tree; and with that double-branching horn he pierced the eyes of Gryneus, and he gouged them out. One eye stuck to the horn; the other rolled down on his beard, to which it strictly clung in dreadful clotted gore."
- Ovid Metamorphoses 12.258-12.270
Dia (Wife of Ixion)

Dia was described as a queen of the Lapith tribe in Thessalia, and wife of king Ixion. Dia was the daughter of Delioneus (or Eioneus). When Ixion married Dia, he did not pay the bride price, the tradition gift grooms gave to their father-in-law. Dia's father was rightly offended at this and in retaliation stole a few of Ixion's horses. In response, Ixion invited his father-in-law to a feast, where Ixion pushed him into a pit filled with burning coals and wood. Ixion was first man guilt of kin-staying in Greek mythology. By Ixion, Dia became the mother of Pirithous and Phisadie.

According to other version, by Zeus, Dia became the mother of Pirithous. Zeus disguised as a horse, have sex with her. Pirithous which means "to run around". Dia's son Pirithous, who received his name from the circumstance, that Zeus when attempt to seduce Dia, ran around her, in the form of a horse.
Euphemus (Kikonian)

Euphemus, son of Troezenus and a leader of the Thrakian Kikonian. He was an ally of the Trojans. According to late writers, he was killed either by Akhilles or by one of the following four: Diomedes, Idomeneus and the two Ajaxes who at one point united to attack the opponents.

## Classical Text

"And Euphemus was captain of the Ciconian spearmen, the son of Ceas' son Troezenus, nurtured of Zeus."
- Homer, Iliad, 2.846-2.847

"With the coming of morning, Hector, Aeneas, and Alexander led forth their army. And all the Greek leaders advanced with their forces. A great slaughter arose, and on both sides countless numbers were sent down to Ocrus.24 Menelaus began to pursue Alexander who, turning around, pierced him in the leg with an arrow. Nevertheless, though pained by his wound, Menelaus continued to pursue, and Locrian Ajax accompanied him. Hector saw what was happening, and immediately he and Aeneas came to the aid of their brother. While Aeneas, using his shield, provided protection, Hector led Alexander out of the fighting and into the city.25 Night brought an end to the battle.

On the next day Achilles and Diomedes led forth their army. The forces of Hector and Aeneas came opposite. A great slaughter arose. Hector slew the leaders Orcomeneus, Ialmenus, Epistrophus, Schedius, Elephenor, Diores, and Polyxenus. Aeneas slew Amphimachus and Nireus. Achilles slew Euphemus, Hippothous, Pylaeus, and Asteropaeus. And Diomedes slew Antiphus and Mesthles. When Agamemnon saw that his bravest leaders had fallen, he called back his forces; and the Trojans returned to their city, rejoicing. Agamemnon was worried. Calling the leaders to council, he urged them to fight on bravely and not to give way. More than half of their forces had fallen, but any day now an army was coming from Mysia."
- Dares Phrygius, 21
Hippalektryôn

The Hippalektryôn (Ἱππαλκετρυων) was a creature with the forequarters of a horse, and the wings, tail and back-legs of a rooster. Hippalektryôn means "cock-horse" or "rooster-horse" from the Greek words *alektryôn* and *hippos*.

The creature only appears in early Athenian vase painting and may be an early artistic representation of the winged horse Pegasos.

Kleopatra (Danaid-Daughter of Danaus & Polyxô)

Two of Danaus' fifty daughters (the Danaides) were named  Kleopatra (one whose mother was Polyxô the other the daughter of Phoibe or Atlanteia).  The two along with their sisters (and half-sisters) were married to sons of King Aigyptos (by his various wives).  The night of the mass wedding Kleopatra killed her husband Hermos as did the other Danaids except for Hypermnestra.

## Classical Text

"[The daughters of Danaus married the sons of Aigyptos:] Hippodameia went to Istros, Rhodia to Khalkodon, Kleopatra to Agenor, Asteria to Khaetos, Phylodameia to Diokorystos, Glauke to Alkes, Hippomedusa to Alkmenor, Gorge to Hippothous, Iphimedusa to Eukhenor, and Rhode to Hippolytos. These ten sons had an Arabian mother, while the girls were the daughters variously of Atlanteia and Phoibe, two Hamadryas Nymphai."

In Greek mythology, **Demophon** /ˈdɛməˌfɒn, -fən/ (Ancient Greek: Δημοφῶν or Δημοφόων) was a king of Athens.

## Biography

According to Pindar, Demophon was the son of Theseus and Phaedra, brother of Acamas. Some say that Demophon's mother was Iope, daughter of Iphicles.

## Mythology

Demophon (?) freeing Aethra, Attic white-ground kylix, 470–460 BC, Staatliche Antikensammlungen (Inv. 2687)
Demophon fought in the Trojan War and was among those who entered the city in the Trojan Horse. The brothers freed their grandmother Aethra, who had been captured by the Dioscuri and served Helen as a handmaid for a while, and brought her home.

Demophon married Phyllis, daughter of a Thracian king (possibly of Sithon), while he stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan war. On the next day after the wedding, however, he had to leave, promising to return and take Phyllis with him as soon as possible. She gave him a casket and told not to open it unless he should lose every hope to return to Thrace. Demophon eventually settled in Cyprus and forgot about Phyllis. She would come to the sea shore every day, expecting to see the sails of his ship, but in vain. After the appointed date was past, she either died of grief or hanged herself. One day Demophon opened the casket out of curiosity; what he saw there was so horrifying that he jumped onto his horse and rode like wild till he fell off the horse on his own sword and died. Others, however, say that he did return, but Phyllis was already dead by the time; when he embraced the lifeless almond tree into which she was said to have transformed after death, it started to blossom.
Not all sources, however, accepted the tradition of Demophon's death in Cyprus. In Euripides' play *Heracleidae*, Demophon was the king of Athens, having succeeded to his father's power. He granted the children of Heracles, who were fleeing from Eurystheus, refuge in Athens. As Eurystheus prepared to attack, an oracle told Demophon that he would win if and only if a noble virgin was sacrificed to Persephone. Macaria volunteered for the sacrifice and a spring was named the Macarian spring in her honor. When Diomedes, having landed on the coast of Attica after a storm and failing to recognize the land, started to ravage it, Demophon marched out against the invaders, and was successful enough to take the Palladium from Diomedes. However, he accidentally killed a fellow Athenian in the battle, and was tried in court for that. Demophon had a son Oxyntes.

Lucian relates the story concerning Phyllis not of Demophon, but of his brother Acamas, probably because the character of his work was supposed to be ignorant and to have confounded the two brothers. Tzetzes repeats the mistake. Acamas is better known for having been loved by Laodice, daughter of Priam.
Glaukippe

Glaukippe was one of the twelve Daniads born to King Danaus and Polyxo. Glaukippe like her sisters and half-sisters took part in the mass marriage of the sons of Aigyptos. The night of the marriage Glaukippe like her other sisters and half-sisters murdered their respective husbands (with the exception of Hypemnestra). She and her sisters did so with daggers provided to them by their own father.
Khalkodon

Khalkodon (Χαλκώδων) was one of the fifty sons of King Aigyptos. Khalkodon's mother was an unnamed arabian woman. The same woman that gave birth to Khalkodon bore nine other sons to Aigyptos. In the mass wedding of the sons of Aigyptos to the daughters of Danaus, Khalkodon wed Rhodia.

## Classical Text

"[The daughters of Danaus married the sons of Aigyptos:] Hippodameia went to Istros, Rhodia to Khalkodon, Kleopatra to Agenor, Asteria to Khaetos, Phylodameia to Diokorystos, Glauke to Alkes, Hippomedusa to Alkmenor, Gorge to Hippothous, Iphimedusa to Eukhenor, and Rhode to Hippolytos. These ten sons had an Arabian mother, while the girls were the daughters variously of Atlanteia and Phoibe, two Hamadryas Nymphai."

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2. 17 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Khaon

Khaon (Greek: Χάων) was a Trojan hero and the eponymous ancestor of the Chaonians who gave his name to Chaonia, a district in northwestern Epirus in Southern Albania near the border with Greece. The stories are unclear as to whether he was the brother of Helenus, but in either case, he accompanied him to the court of Neoptolemus. The stories concerning Chaon's death are as unclear as that of his relationship to Helenus. Chaon was either killed in a hunting accident or offered himself as a sacrifice to the gods during an epidemic, thus saving the lives of his countrymen. In either case, when Helenus became the ruler of the country, he named a part of the kingdom after Chaon.

## Classical Text

“’O happy beyond all others, maiden daughter of Priam, bidden to die at a foeman’s tomb, beneath Troy’s lofty walls, who never bore the lot’s award, nor knew, as captive, a conquering master’s bed! We, our homeland burnt, borne over distant seas, have endured the pride of Achilles’ son and his youthful insolence, bearing children in slavery; afterwards, seeking Leda’s Hermione and a Spartan marriage, he passed me over to Helenus’ keeping – a bondmaid and to a bondman. But him Orestes, fired with strong desire for his stolen bride, and goaded by the Furies of his crimes, catches unawares and slays at his father’s altar. By the death of Neoptolemus a portion of the realm passed as his due to Helenus, who called the plains Chaonian from Chaon of Troy, and placed on the heights a Pergamus, this Ilian citadel. But to you what winds, what fates gave a course? What god has driven you unknowing on our coasts? What of the boy Ascanius? Lives he yet and feeds he on the air of heaven? Whom no, lo, when Troy . . . Has the lad none the less some love for his lost mother? Do his father Aeneas and his uncle Hector arouse him at all to ancestral valour and to manly spirit?’ Such words she poured forth weeping, and was vainly raising a long lament, when the hero Helenus, Priam’s son, draws near from the city with a great company. He knows us for his kin, joyfully leads us to the gates, and freely pours forth tears at every word. I advance, and recognize a little Troy, with a copy of great Pergamus, and a dry brook that takes its named from Xanthus, and embrace the portals of a Scaean gate. No less, too, my Teucrians enjoy with me the friendly city. The king welcomed them amid broad colonnades; in the centre of the hall they poured libations of wine and held the bowls, while the feast was serve on gold."
Virgil. Aeneid, 3.321-3.355
Haimon

According to Sophocles' play *Antigone*, **Haimon** (Αἵμων), whose name means "bloody" was the mythological son of Kreon and Eurydike of Thebes, and thus, brother of Menoekeus, Lykomedes, Megara, Pyrrha and Heniokhe.

Polynikes attacked Thebes with his supporters in the war of the Seven against Thebes). Both brothers died in the battle. King Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and the sons' uncle, decreed that Polynices was not to be buried or mourned in any way.

## Sentence of Kreon

Creon decreed that Antigone was to be thrown into a cave with one day's worth of food, despite her engagement to his son, Haemon. The gods, through the blind prophet Tiresias, expressed their disapproval of Creon's decision, which convinced him to rescind his order, and he went to bury Polynices. However, Antigone had already hanged herself on the way to her burial. When Creon arrived at the tomb where she was to be left, his son, Haemon, threatens him and tries to kill him but ends up taking his own life. Creon's wife Eurydice, informed of Haemon's death, took her own life out of grief.

## Suicide

Haemon is betrothed to Antigone. He must choose between his father (whom he has always followed) and his lover Antigone. He chooses Antigone but cannot separate himself from either because of the strong ties of family and love. He commits suicide because of his helpless situation, which also leads his mother to commit suicide. These actions cause Creon's madness at the play's conclusion.

Haemon's first entrance in *Antigone* is right after he has heard about Creon sentencing Antigone to death. He attempts to reason with Creon, citing the feelings of the people of Thebes, while subtly working in his own plea for Antigone's life. The conversation quickly escalates into a fight between the two at the end of which, Haemon declares he will take his own life.
Homonoia

Homonoia was the personified spirit (*daimona*) of concord, unanimity and oneness of mind. She was sometimes numbered amongst the Praxidikai, goddess-daughters of an early Theban king named Ogygos. As such Homonoia was probably closely identified with the Theban goddess-queen Harmonia. Her opposite number was Eris.
Kêphisos (Attikan Potamoi)

Kêphisos (Κηφισος) was a river-god of Attika in southern Greece.

There were two rivers named Kêphisos in Attika over which the god presided. The first had its headwaters in the foothills of Mount Parnes and flowed past Athens to enter the Saronic Gulf south of the port of Peiraios. The second flowed from Mount Kithairon, through the Nysian plain, to enter the sea near the town of Eleusis. The most important neighboring rivers were the streams of the Asôpos to the north and west and the Athenian Ilissos to the south.

Hydaspês

Hydaspês was a River-God of north-western India. He supported the Indians in their war against the invading armies of the god Dionysos.

The River Hydaspês is the Jelum of modern-day Kashmir in India. Other rivers of the east, personified by the Greeks, included the Indian Gangês, and Assyrian Tigris and Euphratês.
Klytodora

Clytodora, a Trojan princess as the daughter of Laomedon, probably either by Placia, Strymo (or Rhoeo), Leucippe or Zeuxippe. Clytodora was the (half) sister of Priam, Astyoche, Lampus, Hicetaon, Clytius, Cilla, Proclia, Aethilla, Medesicaste, and Hesione. She became the queen of Dardania when she married Assaracus and became the mother of Capys. In some accounts, the wife of Assaracus was called Hieromneme, the naiad daughter of Simoes.
Korônis

Korônis was a princess of the Thessalian kingdom of Phlegyantis loved by the god Apollôn. During her pregnancy she committed adultery with a man named Iskhys and when Apollôn learned of this from a raven he commanded his sister Artemis slay her. The goddess did so, felling many others besides with her deadly plague arrows. Apollôn afterwards felt some remorse and, angered by the tattling bird, turned the raven's snow-white feathers black. He also recovered the child Asklepios from the womb of Korônis and entrusted him to the care of the kentauros Kheiron.

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 3.12.5
Khrysothemis

Khrysothemis (Κρυσοθεμις) was the agricultural demi-goddess of the "Golden-Custom"--which was probably a harvest-festival. She was a daughter of Karmanor (Carmanor, "He who Crops") and the goddess Demeter ("Earth-Mother"). Khryosthemis won the first musical contest at Delphoi with a song (presumably a harvest-tune) and consorted with Apollon to produce a child.

Khrysothemis was also described as the wife of the Naxian King Staphylos ("Bunch of Grapes"), a son of Dionysos. Apollon, however, was the putitative father of all of her children including Molpadia and Parthenos--maiden demigoddesses worshipped in western Anatolia. The latter was associated with agrarian constellation Virgo and pictured holding a sheaf of wheat.

Khrysothemis was probably the same as Akakallis (Acacallis) whose name was derived either from a Cretan word for daffodil or from the Greek *akakalis*--the juice of the nut of the golden-flowered tamarisk-tree. This juice was mixed with grain to make a honeyed sweet-cake, a confectionary which played an important part in the sacred rites of the Eleusinian Demeter.

In ancient Greek vase painting Khrysothemis also occurs as a goddess in the retinue of Aphrodite.
Kaliadnê

Kaliadnê was a Naiad-nymph of the River Nile in Egypt. She was the mother of twelve sons by King Aigyptos of Egypt who married the twelve murderous, Danaid daughters of her sister Polyxô.

King Eurystheus

## Mythology

### The Heraklides

Even after Herakles' death, his bitterness towards Herakles did not die down and he began to hunt and kill many Heraklides (many children of Herakles and their descendants). The Heraklides fled to Athens where king Demophon greeted them and promised them safety. Eurystheus gave Demophon an ultimatum, threatening to declare war upon Athens if Demophon did not give over Herakles's children. Herakles' daughter Makaria heard that an oracle had informed Eurystheus that Athens would only be victorious if a noble maiden was sacrificed to Persephone. In order to ensure victory and the safety of her siblings from Eurystheus Makaria sacrificed herself on the alter allowing Athens to crush the Argives in war. During the war Hyllos slew Eurystheus.
Ialmenos

Ialmenos (Ἰάλμενος) was a son of Ares and Astyokhe, and twin brother of Askalaphus. Together with his brother, he sailed with the Argonauts, was among the suitors of Helen and led the Orchomenian contingent in the Trojan War.

Unlike Ascalaphus, Ialmenus survived the war. He was said to have ended up in Colchis, where he founded a colony, the inhabitants of which were later referred to as the "Achaeans of Pontus".
Iakhe

## Classical Text

Then beautiful Persephone answered her thus: "Mother, I will tell you all without error. When luck-bringing Hermes came, swift messenger from my father the Son of Cronos and the other Sons of Heaven, bidding me come back from Erebus that you might see me with your eyes and so cease from your anger and fearful wrath against the gods, I sprang up at once for joy; but he secretly put in my mouth sweet food, a pomegranate seed, and forced me to taste against my will. Also I will tell how he rapt me away by the deep plan of my father the Son of Cronos and carried me off beneath the depths of the earth, and will relate the whole matter as you ask. All we were playing in a lovely meadow, Leucippe and Phaeno and Electra and Ianthe, Melita also and Iache with Rhodea and Callirhoe and Melobosis and Tyche and Ocyrhoe, fair as a flower, Chryseis, Ianeira, Acaste and Admete and Rhodope and Pluto and charming Calypso; Styx too was there and Urania and lovely Galaxaura with Pallas who rouses battles and Artemis delighting in arrows: we were playing and gathering sweet flowers in our hands, soft crocuses mingled with irises and hyacinths, and rose-blooms and lilies, marvellous to see, and the narcissus which the wide earth caused to grow yellow as a crocus. That I plucked in my joy; but the earth parted beneath, and there the strong lord, the Host of Many, sprang forth and in his golden chariot he bore me away, all unwilling, beneath the earth: then I cried with a shrill cry. All this is true, sore though it grieves me to tell the tale."
*- Homeric Hymn 2.415*
Kometes

Kometes was one of Meleagros uncles on his mother's side. He took part in the Kalydonian Boar Hunt as well. The hunt ended with Meleagros finally dealing the death blow, but he gave the head to Atlanta for she had drawn first blood. Kometes and his brothers Plexippus and Toxeus were enraged that a woman got the trophy for a hunt which was originally supposed to be all men. Kometes, Plexippus and Toxeus got into a fight and Meleanger. Meleanger killed Kometes as well as Plexippus and Toxeus.

"On the front gable [of the temple of Athene at Tegea] is the hunting of the Kalydonian Boar.  The boar stands right in the center. On one side are Atalanta, Meleagros (Meleager), Theseus, Telamon, Peleus, Polydeukes, Iolaos, the partner in most of the labours of Herakles, and also the sons of Thestios, the brothers of Althaia, Prothous and Kometes. On the other side of the boar is Epokhos supporting Ankaios who is now wounded and has dropped his axe; by his side is Kastor, with Amphiaraus, the son of Oikles, next to whom is Hippothous, the son of Kerkyon, son of Agamedes, son of Stymphalos. The last figure is Peirithoos."

Krimisos

Krimisos (Crimisus) was a river-god of western Sikelia. He seduced the daughter of a Trojan settler in the guise of a dog.

The river Krimisos was located in the north-western Sikelia, entering the Mediterranean Sea near the Greek colony of Egesta. Other personified Sicilian rivers were the Symaithos, Akis and Anapos.
Iphis (Child of Telethusa and Ligdus)

In Greek mythology, **Iphis** or **Iphys** (Ἶφις) was a daughter of Telethusa and Ligdus in Crete, who was later transformed, by the goddess Isis, into a man.

## Mythology

According to the Roman poet Ovid's *Metamorphoses*, Ligdus and Telethusa were a poor couple who could not afford a dowry if their unborn child was born a girl. Ligdus was forced to come to the conclusion that they had to kill his wife's child if it wasn't a boy. Telethusa despaired, but was visited in the middle of the night by the Egyptian goddess Isis, attended by Anubis, Bubastis and Apis, who advised her to accept whatever was going to happen after the child's birth, guaranteeing assistance to the woman. When Telethusa gave birth to a girl, she concealed her daughter's sex from her husband and raised her daughter as a boy. Ligdus named the daughter, who he believed was a son, Iphis after his own father (the child's grandfather), and Telethusa was glad to have her named that as the gender-neutral name would fit in any case. As Iphis reached the age of adolescence, Ligdus, still unaware of the truth, arranged for his "son" to marry the beautiful Ianthe, daughter of Telestes.
