Gelonus

Gelonus was the son of Herakles he was one of the sons of the Skythian Drakaina

## Classical Text

"Herakles (Heracles), driving the cattle of Geryones, came to this land [Skythia (Scythia)], which was then desolate, but is now inhabited by the Skythians . . . Herakles came from there [the home of Geryones] to the country now called Skythia, where, encountering wintry and frosty weather, he drew his lion's skin over him and fell asleep, and while he slept his mares, which were grazing yoked to the chariot, were spirited away by divine fortune.

When Herakles awoke, he searched for them, visiting every part of the country, until at last he came to the land called the Hylaien (Woodland), and there he found in a cave a creature of double form [i.e. the Skythian Drakaina] that was half maiden and half serpent (ekhidna); above the buttocks she was a woman, below them a snake. When he saw her he was astonished, and asked her if she had seen his mares straying; she said that she had them, and would not return them to him before he had intercourse with her; Herakles did, in hope of this reward.

But though he was anxious to take the horses and go, she delayed returning them, so that she might have Herakles with her for as long as possible; at last she gave them back, telling him, ‘These mares came, and I kept them safe here for you, and you have paid me for keeping them, for I have three sons by you. Now tell me what I am to do when they are grown up : shall I keep them here, since I am queen of this country, or shall I send them away to you?’

Thus she inquired, and then (it is said) Herakles answered : ‘When you see the boys are grown up, do as follows and you will do rightly: whichever of them you see bending this bow and wearing this belt so, make him an inhabitant of this land; but whoever falls short of these accomplishments that I require, send him away out of the country. Do so and you shall yourself have comfort, and my will shall be done.’

So he drew one of his bows (for until then Herakles always carried two), and showed her the belt, and gave her the bow and the belt, that had a golden vessel on the end of its clasp; and, having given them, he departed. But when the sons born to her were grown men, she gave them names, calling one of them Agathyrsos and the next Gelonos and the youngest Skythes (Scythes); furthermore, remembering the instructions, she did as she was told. Two of her sons, Agathyrsos and Gelonos, were cast out by their mother and left the country, unable to fulfill the requirements set; but Skythes, the youngest, fulfilled them and so stayed in the land. From Skythes son of Herakles comes the whole line of the kings of Skythia; and it is because of the vessel that the Skythians carry vessels on their belts to this day. This alone his mother did for Skythes. This is what the Greek dwellers in Pontus say."
- *Herodotus, Histories 4. 9. 1 ff*
Hippomedousa

Hippomedousa was the daughter of King Danaus and either Atlanteia or Phoibe (both Hamadryad nymphs of Libya in north Africa as well as wives of King Danaus). Hippomedousa would be one of the Daniads who murdered her husband (Alkmenor) following the mass marriage of the daughters of Danaus to the sons of King Aigyptos.

Eurydamas (Son of Aigyptos)

Eurydamas was one of the fifty sons of King Aigyptos. Eurydamas' mother was an unnamed phoenikian woman. The same woman that gave birth to Eurydamas bore six other sons to Aigyptos. In the mass wedding of the sons of Aigyptos to the daughters of Danaus, Eurydamas wed Phartis.

## Classical Text

"Agaptolemus got Pirene; Cercetes got Dorium; Eurydamas got Phartis; Aegius got Mnestra; Argius got Evippe; Archelaus got Anaxibia; Menemachus got Nelo. These seven sons were begotten on a Phoenician woman and the maidens on an Ethiopian woman"

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2.1.5 (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Hermaphroditos

Hermaphroditos (Ἑρμαφροδιτος) was the god of hermaphrodites and of effeminates. He was numbered amongst the winged love-gods known as Erotes.

Hermaphroditos was a son of Hermes and Aphrodite, the gods of male and female sexuality.

According to some he was once a handsome youth who attracted the love of a Naiad nymphe Salmakis. She prayed to to be united with him forever and the gods, answering her prayer, merged their two forms into one. At the same time her spring acquired the property of making men who bathed in its waters soft and effeminate.

Hermaphroditos was depicted as a winged youth with both male and female features--usually female thighs, breasts, and style of hair, and male genitalia.
Asios (Son of King Dymas)

Asius was a Phrygian leader and son of King Dymas, and brother of Queen Hecuba of Troy. Asius, son of Dymas, belonged to a tribe of Phrygians who lived by the River Sangarius. He had two sons, Adamas and Phaenops. In the *Iliad*, Apollo is said to have taken Asius's shape to encourage Hector to fight Patroclus. This Asius does not die in the narrative of the Iliad, but Dictys Cretensis says he was killed by Ajax.
Eubouleos

Eubouleos (Eubuleus) was the demi-god or hero of the sacred swine of the Eleusinian Mysteries. He was perhaps also a demi-god of ploughing and the planting of the grain seed.

Eubouleos appears in two seperate regional myths. In the Cretan myth he was a son of the grain-goddess Demeter and her consort the harvest-man Karmanor. In the Eleusinian and Argive myths he was the swine-herd brother of Triptolemos whose animals were swallowed up by the earth when Haides seized Persephone. Eubouleos was occassionally depicted in ancient art amongst the deities of the Eleusinian Mysteries where he appears as a youth holding an Eleusinian torch.

Eubouleos' name means "Good-Counsellor" from the Greek word euboulos. It might also mean "Well-Clodded" from the words bôlos "clod of earth" and bôlostropheô "to turn up clods ploughing".

Eubouleus was identified with various gods including Iakkhos, leader of the Eleusinian procession, Dionysos, and Plouton (Haides). As a son of Demeter he was perhaps identified with Bootes or Ploutos.
Amphínomos

Amphínomos (Ἀμφίνομος) whose name literally meant "grazing all about", was the son of King Nisos and one of the suitors of Penelope who was killed by Telemachus.

## Mythology

Amphinomus was considered the best-behaved of the suitors. Despite Odysseus's warning, he was compelled by Athena to stay, as he had been a suitor nonetheless. He was killed by a spear thrown by Telemachus during the murder of the suitors; ironically, Amphinomous had twice tried to dissuade the suitors from killing Telemachus.
Demeleôn

## Classical Text

"When Peleus at a distance saw him torn and mangled, he exclaimed, `At least receive this sacrifice, O Crantor! most beloved! Dearest of young men!’ And with sturdy arm and all his strength of soul as well, he hurled his ashen lance against Demoleon, which piercing through his shivered ribs, hung there and quivered in the bones. The centaur wrenched the wooden shaft out, with his frenzied hands, but could not move the pointed head, which stuck within his lungs. His very anguish gave him such a desperation, that he rose against his foe and trampled and beat down the hero with his hoofs, Peleus allowed the blows to fall on helm and ringing shield. Protected so, he watched his time and thrust up through the centaur's shoulder. By one stroke he pierced two breasts, where horse and man-form met. Before this, Peleus with the spear had killed both Myles and Phlegraeus and with the sword Iphinous and Clanis. Now he killed Dorylas, who was clad in a wolfskin cap and fought with curving bull's horns dripping blood.

- *Ovid, Metamorphoses 12.366-12.382 (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.)*
Elatos

## Classical Text

"[Herakles] passing through [Mount] Pholoe [in Arkadia (Arcadia)] was entertained by the Kentauros Pholos (Centaur Pholus), a son of Seilenos (Silenus) by a Melias Nymphe (Melian Nymph). He set roast meat before Herakles, while he himself ate his meat raw. When Herakles called for wine, he said he feared to open the jar which belonged to the Kentauroi (Centaurs) in common. But Herakles, bidding him be of good courage, opened it, and not long afterwards, scenting the smell, the Kentauroi arrived at the cave of Pholos, armed with rocks and firs. The first who dared to enter, Ankhios (Anchius) and Agrios (Agrius), were repelled by Herakles with a shower of brands, and the rest of them he shot and pursued as far as Malea. There they took refuge with Kheiron, who, after the Lapithes (Lapiths) had driven him from Mount Pelion, settled on Malea. Thence they took refuge with Kheiron (Chiron), who, driven by the Lapithes from Mount Pelion, took up his abode at Malea.

As the Kentauroi cowered about Kheiron, Herakles shot an arrow at them, which, passing through the arm of Elatos (Elatus), stuck in the knee of Kheiron. Distressed at this, Herakles ran up to him, drew out the shaft, and applied a medicine which Kheiron gave him. But the hurt proving incurable, Kheiron retired to the cave and there he wished to die, but he could not, for he was immortal. However, Prometheus offered himself to Zeus to be immortal in his stead, and so Kheiron died. [N.B. In other versions of this story Pholos was the one wounded by the poison arrow.]

The remaining Kentauroi (Centaurs) fled this way and that, som to Mount Malea, Eurytion to Pholoe, Nessos to the Euenus (Evenus) river. The rest were taken in at Eleusis by Poseidon, who hid them away on a mountain. As for Pholos, as he was pulling an arrow out of a corpse, he marvelled that such a little object could destroy such enormous adversaries. Just then it slipped from his hand, fell on his foot and instantly killed him. When Herakles returned to Pholoe, he found Pholos dead, so he buried him and proceeded on to find the boar."

*Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca ii. 83 - 87 (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)*
Anemoi Thuellai

The Anemoi Thuellai were the spirits (daimones) of the violent storm-winds, sons of the monstrous hurricane-giant Typhoeus. They were kept locked away inside the floating island of Aiolos and released at the command of the gods to wreak their havoc.

Their female counterparts were the Harpyiai (also known as the Aellai and Thuellai).

The storm-winds were often conflated with the gentler Anemoi of the four directional winds--Boreas (the North Wind), Notos (the South-Wind) and Zephyros (the West-Wind) and Euros (the East-Wind).
Opal

* Ore
* Icon

Opal is a lot like the ore Moonstone since it only spawns at the top levels but is a lot easier to get. You can still just mine forward at the top and find it if you want to get it that way. Opal also drops from Zombies and can be found in Regular Crates. Opal is a very useful ore since it is used to make the Teleport Pad, which is very good, and the Opal Pickaxe, Olivine Pickaxe, and Azure Pickaxe.
Hippasus

Hippasus of Eurytas was one of the heroes who went on the Kalydonian Boar Hunt. The Roman epic poet Ovid and the historian Hygineus give the most description of him in the hunt. Unfortunately Hippasus was fated to die of the hunt. The Kalydonian Boar gored him through the thigh fatally wounding him.

## Classical Text

"Oeneus. Since Oeneus, son of Porthaon, king of Aetolia, had made sacrifices yearly to all the gods, but had omitted Diana, she, in anger, sent a Boar of immense size to lay waste the district of Calydon.

When she asked the help of Meleager, he intervened, and putting love before family relationship, killed his uncles."

- Hyginus, Fabulae 172 - 174

"Sure of his new-honed weapons, his curving snout ripped through the thigh of mighty Eurytides [Hippasus]. But now Gemini (the twins) Kastor (Castor) and Polydeukes (Polydeuces), not stars of heaven as yet, came cantering up, both brothers striking, both on snow-white steeds; and both poised quivering spears with flashing points; they would have wounded him had not the Boar, the bristly brute, reached the dense woodland trees where neither spear nor horse could" penetrate."

- Ovid, Metamorphoses 8. 269 ff
Antiopê

Antiopê was a princess of the Boiotian town of Hyria. She was a daughter of the lord Nykteus, though some claimed her real father was the river Asôpos.

Antiope was loved by the god Zeus who seduced her in the guise of a satyr on Mount Kithairon. When Nykteus discovered she was pregnant, he threatened her, and she fled to find refuge with King Epopeus of Sikyon. Nykteus then killed himself in shame and called upon his brother Lykos to avenge him.

Lykos had since been appointed regent of the powerful Boiotian town of Thebes. Its former king, Labdakos, had died young leaving a child on the throne. With the city-state's army he laid siege to Sikyon, slew Epopeus and dragged Antiope away. On the return trip to Thebes she gave birth to twin sons--Amphion and Zethos--which were left exposed to die on Mount Kithairon near Eleutherai. However shepherds came across the infants and raised them as their own. The boys were instructed by the god Hermes in various arts with Amphion becoming a skilled bard and his brother Zethos a cattle-herder.

Antiope was treated badly by Lykos' wife Dirke who kept her as little more than a slave. When she learned that her sons were alive and grown, she fled Thebes and called upon them to avenge her. The twins captured Dirke as she was celebrating the rites of Dionysos on Mount Kithairon and tied her to a bull which tore her apart. They then slew King Lykos and seized the throne of Thebes. The god Dionysos, however, was offended by the death of his devotee and drove Antiope mad. She roamed across the hills to the neighboring kingdom of Phokis where King Phokos found her, cured her of her illness, and made her his wife.

Antiope and her sons, Amphion and Zethos, were later honored as heroes at Thebes. Unlike most heroes however--which produced long lines of descendants--their house was cut short by the untimely deaths of the twins and their children. Some say that one of the daughters, Khloris, survived, and that she became the mother of the Trojan War hero Nestor.
Halitherses

**Halitherses** (Ἁλιθέρσης), son of Mastor, was an Ithacan prophet who warned the suitors of Odysseus's wife Penelope after interpreting the symbols that Zeus sent to "be wise in time, and put a stop to this wickedness before he comes." The suitors do not heed Halitherses' warning. After the suitors all die, Halitherses warns the suitors' families against action against Odysseus, saying they will bring evil on their heads for this action against the gods' will. Only half of them listen. The suitors' go on to try to kill Odysseus' family, but they are thwarted by the goddess Athena. Halitherses was one of Odysseus' dear friends back in Ithaca, along with Mentor. Both Halitherses and Mentor tried to stop the suitors, but were unable to. However, Penelope remained faithful to Odysseus.
Atalantê

Atalantê was an Arkadian heroine--a huntress and a favorite of the goddess Artemis. She was exposed by her father at birth in the wilds but was suckled by a she-bear and afterwards found and raised by hunters.

Atalantê swore to defend her virginity and when two Kentauroi burst into her grove, she slew them with arrows. She later took part in the voyage of the Argonauts and defeated the hero Peleus in wrestling at the funeral games of King Pelias.

When King Oineus summoned heroes to destroy the Kalydonian Boar, Atalantê answered the call and was the first to draw blood. While Meleagros actually killed the boar, he gave the boar's head to Atalantê. Meleagros's uncles protested and tried to take it from her by force. The hero slew them for the affront.

Atalanta was eventually reunited with her father Skhoineus who insisted that she wed. The heroine reluctantly agreed insisting that a suitor must defeat her in a race and that the losers be put to death. Melanion--or Hippomenes--however, sought the help of the goddess Aphrodite who provided him with three golden apples to cast before the girl in the race. When Atalanta stooped to retrieve these, she was slowed enough to allow the hero to emerge victorious. Their marriage was a short-lived one, for Hippomenes neglected to pay Aphrodite her dues. She cursed him and he was compelled to lie with his wife in the sacred precinct of Zeus, Rhea or Artemis where an offended deity transformed them into lions.
Argius

Argius was one of the fifty sons of King Aigyptos. Argius' mother was an unnamed phoenikian woman. The same woman that gave birth to Argius bore six other sons to Aigyptos. In the mass wedding of the sons of Aigyptos to the daughters of Danaus, Argius wed Euippe.

## Classical Text

"Agaptolemus got Pirene; Cercetes got Dorium; Eurydamas got Phartis; Aegius got Mnestra; Argius got Evippe; Archelaus got Anaxibia; Menemachus got Nelo. These seven sons were begotten on a Phoenician woman and the maidens on an Ethiopian woman"

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2.1.5 (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Glauke

**Glauke** was the daughter of Danaus and either Atlanteiê or Phoibê (both Hamadryad nymphs of Libya in north Africa as well as wives of King Danaus). Glauke would be one of the Daniads who murdered her husband (Alkes) following the mass marriage of the daughters of Danaus to the sons of Aigyptos.

## 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 (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Eris

Eris was the goddess of strife. She was the daughter of Nyx and a lover of Arês'.

Eris is best known for being the catalyst that started the Trojan War. After not being invited to a wedding she threw a golden apple with "to the fairest" written on it. Athena, Hera and Aphrodite argued over which of them was the fairest. Zeus appointed Paris to decide. Each of the goddesses offered bribes. Paris declared Aphrodite to be the fairest after she promised him Helen (later known as Helen of Troy) as his bride. Helen however was already married to Menalaus. When Helen was taken this began the start of the war.
Dryalos

## Classical Text

And there was the strife of the Lapith spearmen gathered round the prince Caeneus and Dryas and Peirithous, with Hopleus, Exadius, Phalereus, and Prolochus, Mopsus the son of Ampyce of Titaresia, a scion of Ares, and Theseus, the son of Aegeus, like unto the deathless gods. These were of silver, and had armour of gold upon their bodies. And the Centaurs were gathered against them on the other side with Petraeus and Asbolus the diviner, Arctus, and Ureus, and black-haired Mimas, and the two sons of silver, and they had pinetrees of gold in their hands, and they were rushing together as though they were alive and striking at one another hand to hand with spears and with pines.
- *Hesiod, Shield of Herakles 178-190*
Ennomos (Mysian)

Ennomus, son of Arsinous. He was a Mysian ally of the Trojans, and was killed by Achilles. He was also said to have been a seer

## Classical Text

And of the Mysians the captains were Chromis and Ennomus the augur; howbeit with his auguries he warded not off black fate, but was slain beneath the hands of the son of Aeacus, swift of foot, in the river, where Achilles was making havoc of the Trojans and the others as well.

- Homer Illiad, 2.858-2.861

'"Which of the noble Greeks has given you praise or sought your company? Yet Diomed has shared his deeds with me and praises me, and, while Ulysses is with him, is brave and confident. 'Tis worthy of regard, when out of many thousands of the Greeks, a man becomes the choice of Diomed! It was not lot that ordered me to go; and yet, despising dangers of the night, despising dangers of the enemy, I slew one, Dolon, of the Phrygian race, who dared to do the very things we dared, but not before I had prevailed on him to tell me everything, by which I learned perfidious actions which Troy had designed. Of such things now, I had discovered all that should be found out, and I might have then returned to enjoy the praise I had deserved. But not content with that, I sought the tent of Rhesus, and within his camp I slew him and his proved attendants. Having thus gained as a conqueror my own desires, I drove back in a captured chariot,—a joyous triumph. Well, deny me, then. The arms of him whose steeds the enemy demanded as the price of one night's aid. Ajax himself has been more generous. Why should I name Sarpedon's Lycian troops among whom I made havoc with my sword? I left Coeranos dead and streaming blood, with the sword I killed Alastor, Chromius, Alcander, Prytanis, Halius, and Noemon, Thoon and Charops with Chersidamas, and Ennomus—all driven by cruel fate, not reckoning humbler men whom I laid low, battling beneath the shadow of the city walls. And fellow citizens, I have my wounds honorable in the front. Do not believe my word alone. Look for yourselves and see!” Then with one hand, he drew his robe aside. “Here is a breast,” he cried, “that bled for you! But Ajax never shed a drop of blood to aid his friends, in all these many years, and has a body free of any wound."

- Ovid, Metamorphises 13.238-13.267
Epikaste (Daughter of Augeas)

Epikaste was the name of a woman who was the daughter of Augeas and an unknown mother.  She was among the many women who were lovers of Herakles.  Epikaste was the mother of one of Herakles' children whose name was Thestalus.

Hieromnêmê

Hieromnêmê was the Naiad-nymph of a spring of the River Simoeis on Mount Ida in the Troad (north-western Anatolia). She was the wife the Dardanian prince Assarakos.

Hieromneme's means "Memory of the Holy Rites" from the Greek words *hieros* and *mnêma*. She was probably associated with the orgiastic rites of the Mother of the Gods celebrated on Mount Ida. Furthermore, her grandson Ankhises was a lover of the goddess Aphrodite--a pairing which echoes the figures of Kybele (Cybele) and Attis in the indigenous Phrygian cult.
Daphoineus

Daphoineus was one of the paneides who were twelve young Panes, goat-legged rustic spirits or gods. The Panes, were, sons of the elder god Pan. They joined Dionysos in his war against the Indians.

## Classical Text

*"Now* [in India] *the hill the summit of which is inhabited by the sages is, according to the account of our travellers, of about the same height as the Akropolis of Athens; and it rises: straight up from the plain, though its natural position equally secures it from attack for the rock surrounds it on all sides. On many parts of this rock you see traces of cloven feet and outlines of beards and of faces, and here and there impressions of backs as of persons who had slipt--and rolled down. For they say that Dionysos, when he was trying to storm the place together with Herakles, ordered the Panes to attack it, thinking that they would be strong enough to take it by assault; but they were thunderstruck by the sages and fell one, one way, and another, another; and the rocks as it were took the print of the various postures in which they fell and failed."*

## Mythology

### Meeting of Pegasos

Bellerophon slept at Athena's temple. In a dream Athena gave him a golden bridle to harness Pegasos and that Pegasos should be there as soon as he woke up. Bellerophon woke up from the dream with a golden bridle in his hands. When he went out, he saw the majestic Pegasos, drinking from a spring. He used the golden bridle and armed himself with spears and a bow and a quiver of arrows. Bellerophon then rode into battle with Pegasos. After a long fight, Bellerophon had finally slain the Khimaira.

### Hubris

As Bellerephon's greatness grew so did he ego, he believed he belonged on Olympus. Zeus, upset at his arrogance sent a gadfly to sting Pegasos throwing Bellerephon to Earth. Bellerephon landed on the Plain of Aleion in Kilikia, Bellerophon (who had fallen into a thorn bush causing him to become blind) lived out his life in misery, "devouring his own soul," until he died.

Hodites

## 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.
- Ovid, Metamorphoses 12.429-12.458 (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.)
Akis

Akis (Ακις) was a river-god of eastern Sikelia. He was originally a Sikelian youth loved by the Nereid Galateia whose jealous rival, the Kyklops Polyphemos, killed him with the cast of a boulder. The gods in pity transformed the dying youth into a river.

The Akis stream flowed down into the Mediterranean from the slopes of Mount Aitna near the town of Akion. Other personified Sikelian rivers included the Symaithos and Anapos to the south, and Krimisos in the west.

"He spake, and hurled his spear, but of purpose he missed the man, and over his right shoulder passed the point of the polished spear, and fixed itself in the ground; and Dolon stood still, seized with terror, stammering and pale with fear, and the teeth clattered in his mouth; and the twain panting for breath came upon him, and seized his hands; and he with a burst of tears spake to them, saying: "Take me alive, and I will ransom myself; for at home have I store of bronze and gold and iron, wrought with toil; thereof would my father grant you ransom past counting, should he hear that I am alive at the ships of the Achaeans."

Homer. *The Iliad, 10*.372 - 10.381
Diônê (Titaness)

Dione was the Titan goddess of the oracle of Dodona in Thesprotia, and the mother of Aphrodite by Zeus. Her name is simply the feminine form of Zeus (Dios).

Dione was described as "the temple associate" of Zeus at Dodona. The three elderly prophetesses of the shrine, known collectively as the Peleiades, were probably her priestesses. These women were named "the Doves" after the sacred bird of Dione's daughter Aphrodite who also posssessed a temple at the shrine. Dione's Titaness-sisters were also oracular goddesses--Phoibe possessed Delphi, Mnemosyne Lebadeia, and Themis Delphi and Dodona.

Oceanus (Father)

Tethys (Mother)
Elektryon (Perseid)

Elektryon (Ἠλεκτρύων) was a king of Tiryns and Mycenae or Medea in Argolis.

## Family

Electryon was the son of Perseus and Andromeda and thus brother of Perses, Alcaeus, Heleus, Mestor, Sthenelus, Cynurus, Gorgophone and Autochthe. He married either Anaxo, daughter of his brother Alcaeus and sister of Amphitryon, or Eurydice daughter of Pelops. His wife bore him a daughter Alcmena and many sons: Stratobates, Gorgophonus, Phylonomus, Celaeneus, Amphimachus, Lysinomus, Chirimachus, Anactor, and Archelaus. Electryon had an illegitimate son Licymnius by Midea, a Phrygian woman.

## Mythology

The six sons of Pterelaus, King of the Taphians, descended from Electryon's brother Mestor came to Mycenae to claim a share of kingdom. When Electryon spurned their request, they drove off his cattle; Electryon's sons battled against them, and all but Licymnius (on one side) and Everes (on the other) died. Everes sold the cattle to Polyxenus of Elis. Amphitryon, Electryon's nephew and promised in marriage to Alcmene, bought the cattle and returned them to his uncle, but accidentally killed him as he threw his club at one of the cows. Electryon's brother Sthenelus seized the throne of Mycenae, charged Amphitryon with murder, and sent him into exile.

She was seduced by the god Apollon and bore him a son but, fearing the wrath of her guardian, abandoned him in the countryside. Lying in a patch of violets the infant was nurtured on honey by the bees. Her stepfather Aipytos, upon learning from the Delphic Oracle of the birth of the son of a god, commanded her recover the child. She named him Iamos, "Boy of the Violets," from his rustic bed.
Evagoras

## Classical Text

"By other women Priam had sons, to wit, Melanippus, Gorgythion, Philaemon, Hippothous, Glaucus, Agathon, Chersidamas, Evagoras, Hippodamas, Mestor, Atas, Doryclus, Lycaon, Dryops, Bias, Chromius, Astygonus, Telestas, Evander, Cebriones, Mylius, Archemachus, Laodocus, Echephron, Idomeneus, Hyperion, Ascanius, Democoon, Aretus, Deiopites, Clonius, Echemmon, Hypirochus, Aegeoneus, Lysithous, Polymedon; and daughters, to wit, Medusa, Medesicaste, Lysimache, and Aristodeme."

Halys

Halys was a river-god of Paphlagonia and Pontos in Anatolia. He wooed the nymphe Sinope but she outwitted him to preserve her virginity.

The River Halys had its headwaters on the Armenian plateau and emptied into the Black Sea near the Greek colony of Sinope on the border of Paphlagonia and Pontos. The major neighboring rivers were the Parthenios to the west, and Thermôdôn to the east.
Galateia

Galateia, clothed in a saffron robe, rides across the sea on the back of a large, green dolphin.

Galateia (Γαλατεια) was one of the fifty Nereides and the goddess of calm seas.

She frequented the coast of Sicily and there attracted the attention of the Kyklops Polyphemos. The giant wooed her with tunes from his rustic pipes and offerings of milk and cheese. But the nymphe spurned his advances and consorted instead with a handsome Sicillian youth named Akis. Polyphemos flew into a jealous rage and crushed the boy beneath a rock. Galateia was grief-stricken and transformed Akis into a stream. According to some Galateia was the mother by Polyphemos of Galatos, eponymous king of Galatia in Anatolia.

Galateia was depicted in ancient art as a beautiful woman riding side-saddle on the back of a sea-monster or fish-tailed god.

Her name means either "goddess of calm seas" from *galênê* and *theia* or "milky-white" from *galaktos*.
Guneus

Guneus, leader of the Aenianes and Perrhaebians during the Trojan War. According to Homer, "Guneus brought two and twenty ships from Cyphus, and he was followed by the Enienes and the valiant Peraebi, who dwelt about wintry Dodona." Guneus survived the war, and went to Libya where he settled near the Cinyps River. Guneus was an obscure character, though his tribal followers (Aenienians and Perrhaebians) are usually placed in northwestern Greece. Homer does not record his pedigree, but elsewhere his parents were said to be Ocytus and Aurophyte

## Classical Text

"Deïmachus, the son of Eleon and a companion of Heracles, took part in the expedition against Troy. But since, as it appears, the war was dragging on, he welcomed to his quarters Glaucia, the daughter of Scamander, who had fallen in love with him, and got her with child ; then he himself fell in fighting against the Trojans. But Glaucia, fearing detection, fled for refuge, and told Heracles of her love and of her association with Deïmachus. And he, both through pity for the woman, and for j oy that the stock of a brave man who was his close friend should thus survive, took Glaucia oil board his fleet; and when she gave birth to a son, he brought both the child and the mother, and delivered them to Eleon in Boeotia. The child was named Scamander, and he became the king of the country; and he named the Inachus river Scamander after himself, and the stream near by he called Glaucia from his mother. The spring Acidusa he named after his wife ; and from her he had three daughters whom even to this day they honour under the name of the ‘Maidens.’"
- Plutarch. Quaestiones Graecae, 41
Hermos (Son of Aigyptos)

Hermos was one of the fifty sons of Aigyptos. He was one of the grooms in the mass marriage to the Daniads

## Classical Text

"The twelve sons of [Aigyptos and] a Naias Nymphe named Kaliadne drew lots for the daughters of [Danaus and] Polyxô, also a Naias. The sons were named Eurylokhos, Phantes, Peristhenes, Hermos, Dryas, Potamon, Kisseus, Lixos, Imbros, Bromios, Polyktor, and Khthonios; the girls were Autonoe, Theano, Êlektrê, Kleopatra, Eurydike, Glaukippe, Antheleia, Kleodore, Euippe, Eratô, Stygne, and Bryke."

- Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2.1.5 (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)
Ekhô

Ekhô (Εχω) was an Oreiad-nymph of Mount Kithairon in Boiotia. The goddess Hera cursed her with just an echo for a voice as punishment for distracting her from the affairs of Zeus with her endless chatter. She was loved by the god Pan, and herself became enamored of the boy Narkissos. When the youth spurned her advances she wasted away, leaving nothing behind but an echoing voice.
Diktys

## Classical Text

"I saw Petraeus when he strove to tear up from the earth, an acorn-bearing oak. And, while he struggled with it, back and forth, and was just ready to wrench up the trunk, Pirithous hurled a well aimed spear at him, transfixed his ribs, and pinned his body tight, writhing, to that hard oak: and Lycus fell and Chromis fell, before Pirithous. They gave less glory to the conqueror than Helops or than Dictys. Helops was killed by a javelin, which pierced his temples from the right side, clear through to his left ear. And Dictys, running in a desperate haste, hoping in vain, to escape Ixion's son, slipped on the steep edge of a precipice; and, as he fell down headlong crashed into the top of a huge ash-tree, which impaled his dying body on its broken spikes.
- Ovid, Metamorphoses 12.327-12.340 (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.)
Dolphin

The Dolphin is an animal which is sacred to Dionysus and Apollo.  The reason for Dionysus' association with Dolphins stems from when he was at Naxos headed for Asia a group of pirates who planned to sell him into slavery.  Dionysus caused ivy to grow all over the ship and he turned all the pirates (with the exception of the helmsman) into Dolphins.  This act is when he started being worshipped as a god.  This is the  reason for Dolphins being important to Dionysius.

While Dolphins are the sacred animal of Dionysius, Eros is often shown riding on the back of one.  This may be  because his mother Aphrodite came from the sea and thus Eros may have had some affiliation with sea animals.  It is however stated nowhere.
Eumedes

Eumedes is the son of Herakles and Lyse who was one of the daughters of King Thespius. During his stay in the court of King Thespius, Herakles impregnated 49 out of the 50 daughters of Thespius including Lyse who he lay with one night. The result of that particular encounter was Eumedes.

## Classical Text

by Lyse he [Herakles] had Eumedes

Daphnis

## Classical Text

"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,39 yet because he pitied her who was being outraged, he determined to be superior to others in humanity."

*- Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 4.12.7*
Eudôrê (Okeanid)

The Okeanis "good-gifts" was perhaps a Nephele of good downfalls of rain or the Naias of a generously flowing spring.  Eudora is mentioned by Hesiod in Theogony.

## Ancient Text

"Also she brought forth a holy company of daughters who with the lord Apollo and the Rivers have youths in their keeping -- to this charge Zeus appointed them -- Peitho, and Admete, and Ianthe, and Electra, and Doris, and Prymno, and Urania divine in form, Hippo, Clymene, Rhodea, and Callirrhoe, Zeuxo and Clytie, and Idyia, and Pasithoe, Plexaura, and Galaxaura, and lovely Dione, Melobosis and Thoe and handsome Polydora, Cerceis lovely of form, and soft eyed Pluto, Perseis, Ianeira, Acaste, Xanthe, Petraea the fair, Menestho, and Europa, Metis, and Eurynome, and Telesto saffron-clad, Chryseis and Asia and charming Calypso, Eudora, and Tyche, Amphirho, and Ocyrrhoe, and Styx who is the chiefest of them all. These are the eldest daughters that sprang from Ocean and Tethys; but there are many besides. For there are three thousand neat-ankled daughters of Ocean who are dispersed far and wide, and in every place alike serve the earth and the deep waters, children who are glorious among goddesses."[1]

- Hesiod, Theogony 346
Enaesimus

Enaesimus, son of Hippokoon (the man who expelled Ikarius and Tyndareus from Lakedaemon and became king of the Lakedaemonians) was killed by the Kalydonian Boar

## Classical Text

"Then was the monster's savage anger roused; as the bright lightning's flash his red eyes flamed; his breath was hot as fire. As when a stone is aimed at walls or strong towers, which protect encompassed armies,—launched by the taut rope it strikes with dreaded impact; so the boar with fatal onset rushed among this band of noble lads, and stretched upon the ground Eupalamon and Pelagon whose guard was on the right; and their companions bore their bodies from the field. Another youth, the brave son of Hippocoon received a deadly wound—while turning to escape, the sinew of his thigh was cut and failed to bear his tottering steps.—"

- Ovid, Metamorphoses 8.362
Alkmenor

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

## 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.)
Deiphobos

A son of Priam and Hekabe, was next to Hektor the bravest among the Trojans. When Paris, yet unrecognized, came to his brothers, and conquered them all in the contest for his favorite bull, Deiphobus drew his sword against him, and Paris fled to the altar of Zeus Herakles.

Deiphobos and his brother, Helenus and their ally Asios, led the third host of the Trojans against the camp of the Akhaeans, and when Asios had fallen, Deiphobos advanced against Idomeneus, but, instead of killing him, he slew Hypsenor. When hereupon Idomeneus challenged him, he called Aeneas to his assistance. He also slew Askalaphus, and while he was tearing the helmet from his enemy's head, he was wounded by Meriones, and led out of the tumult by his brother, Polites. When Athena wanted to deceive Hektor in his fight with Akhilles, she assumed the appearance of Deiphobos. He accompanied Helen to the wooden horse in which the Akhaeans were concealed.

During the seige

## Classical Text

Meanwhile we, having stowed everything on the ships and having set fire to our huts, sailed off to Sigeum and there awaited the night.

When the Trojans, being worn out with carousing and feeling happy and secure because of the peace, had fallen asleep, we returned to the city, sailing through the dead silence, following the beacon that Sinon raised from his hidden position. Soon we had entered the walls and divided the city among us. At a given signal, we slaughtered whomever we found – in homes, on streets, in places sacred and profane. Some of the Trojans awoke, but these were cut down before they could reach for their arms or think of a way to escape. There was, in short, no end to death and slaughter. Parents and children were killed, while loved ones watched and lamented, and then the latter were killed – a pitiable sight. With equal dispatch, the buildings of the city were set on fire and destroyed; the only homes to be saved were those of Aeneas and Antenor, where guards had been posted. Priam, seeing what was happening, fled to the altar of Jupiter that stood in front of the palace. And many members of the royal family fled to other shrines of the gods; Cassandra, for instance, went to the temple of Minerva. All who fell into the hands of the enemy died cruelly, without anyone to avenge them.

At daybreak our forces came to the house where Helen was living with Deiphobus. He (as already described) had taken her to wife when Alexander had died. Now Menelaus tortured him to death, brutally cutting him to pieces, lopping off ears and arms and nose and so forth.

And Neoptolemus, with no respect for old age or the office of king, slaughtered Priam, both of whose hands were clutching the altar.

And Ajax the son of Oileus dragged off Cassandra from the temple of Minerva to be his captive."
