Cleitus (mythology) in the context of "Sthenelus"

In Greek mythology, the name Euchenor (Ancient Greek: Εὐχήνωρ, gen.: Εὐχήνορος) may refer to:

• Euchenor, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus. He suffered the same fate as his other brothers, save Lynceus, when they were slain on their wedding night by their wives who obeyed the command of their father King Danaus of Libya. Euchenor was the son of Aegyptus by an Arabian woman and thus full brother of Istrus, Chalcodon, Agenor, Chaetus, Diocorystes, Alces, Hippothous, Alcmenor and Hippolytus. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus, or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre. Alcmenor married the Danaid Iphimedousa, daughter of Danaus either by the hamadryads Atlanteia or Phoebe.
• Euchenor, son of the seer Polyeidos and Eurydameia, brother of Cleitus, from Corinth. The brothers participated in the campaign of the Epigoni and afterwards fought in the Trojan War. Polyeidos had predicted that Euchenor would either die of an illness in his home city, or fall at Troy; Euchenor chose to go to the war and was eventually killed by Paris. Alternately, Euchenor was a grandson of Polyeidos; he was said to have dedicated a sacred image to Dionysus, surnamed Dasyllius, at Megara.
• Euchenor, father, by Phlogea, of Echetus, a king probably ruling in mainland Greece.
• Euchenor, one of the sons of King Aeolus of Lipara, the keeper of the winds. He had five brothers namely: Periphas, Agenor, Klymenos, Xouthos and Macareus, and six sisters: Klymene, Kallithyia, Eurygone, Lysidike, Kanake and an unnamed one. According to various accounts, Aeolus yoked in marriage his sons, including Euchenor, and daughters in order to preserve concord and affection among them.

In Greek mythology, Tyria (Ancient Greek: Τυρίας) was one of the various consorts of Aegyptus, king of Egypt. By the latter, she became the mother to three princes: Clitus, Chrysippus and Sthenelus. Her sons were wed and slain by their cousin-wives, daughters of King Danaus of Libya and Memphis during their wedding night. Tyria was probably a Phoenician woman as her name suggests.

According to Hippostratus, Aegyptus had his progeny by a single woman called Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus. In some accounts, he consorted with Isaie, daughter of his uncle Agenor, king of Tyre.

Dryas (Ancient Greek: Δρύας, gen. Δρύαντος, from δρῦς "oak") is the name of several figures in Greek mythology, including:

• Dryas, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus. His mother was the naiad Caliadne and thus full brother of Eurylochus, Phantes, Peristhenes, Hermus, Potamon, Cisseus, Lixus, Imbrus, Bromius, Polyctor and Chthonius. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus, or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre. Dryas suffered the same fate as his other brothers, save Lynceus, when they were slain on their wedding night by their wives who obeyed the command of their father King Danaus of Libya. He married the Danaid Hecabe or Eurydice, daughter of Danaus and the naiad Polyxo.
• Dryas, a Thracian prince as son of King Lycurgus, king of the Edoni in Thrace. He was killed when Lycurgus went insane and mistook him for a mature trunk of ivy, a plant holy to the god Dionysus, whose cult Lycurgus was attempting to extirpate.
• Dryas, father of the aforementioned Lycurgus, and thus grandfather of the above Dryas.
• Dryas, a leader of the Lapiths against the Centaurs, and a participant of the battle that began at the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia, where he killed the Centaur Rhoetus, who had killed his fellow Lapiths Corythus and Euagrus just before that. In Iliad 1, Nestor numbers Dryas among an earlier generation of heroes of his youth, "the strongest men that Earth has bred, the strongest men against the strongest enemies, a savage mountain-dwelling tribe [i. e. the Centaurs] whom they utterly destroyed", and call him "shepherd of the people". No trace of such an oral tradition, which Homer's listeners would have recognized in Nestor's allusion, survived in literary epic.
• Dryas, son of Ares or of Iapetus.
• Dryas the seer, father of Munichus.
• Dryas, one of the suitors of Pallene, daughter of Sithon. He was killed by Cleitus, who then went on to marry Pallene.
• Dryas, father of Amphilochus, the husband of Alcinoe.
• Dryas, son of Orion, a chieftain from Tanagra. He brought 1000 archers with him to defend Thebes in the Seven against Thebes. Ares made use of the fact that Dryas shared his father's hate of Artemis and her followers, and turned him against Parthenopaeus and his Arcadian contingent. Upon killing Parthenopaeus, Dryas was himself felled by an unknown hand.
• Dryas, a Greek warrior killed during the Trojan War by Deiphobus.

Astycrateia, also Astycratea, Astycratia or Astykrateia (Ancient Greek: Ἀστυκράτεια), in Greek mythology, may refer to:

• Astycrateia, daughter of the seer Polyeidos and sister of Manto and Coeranus. Her possible mother was Eurydameia, daughter of King Phyleus of Dulichium, therefore can be considered the sister of Euchenor and Cleitus.
• Astycrateia, one of the Niobids.
• Astycrateia, daughter of Aeolus and Telepora or Telepatra, daughter of Laestrygon. She was the sister of Androcles, Chrysippus, Iocastus, Phalacrus, Pheraemon, Xuthus, and the daughters' as Aeole, Dia, Hephaestia, Iphthe and Periboea.

• Clite, daughter of Danaus and Memphis, married and killed Cleitus, son of Aegyptus and Tyria.
• Clite, a maenad who followed Dionysus on his Indian campaign.
• Clite, daughter of Merops of Percote and wife of Cyzicus. When her husband was unwittingly killed by the Argonauts, she hanged herself in grief. A spring was named Cleite after her or she turned into one.

In Greek mythology, the name Coeranus /ˈsɛrənəs/ or Koiranos (Ancient Greek: Κοίρανος "ruler, commander") may refer to:

• Coeranus, an Argive son of Abas, grandson of Melampus, and father of the seer Polyeidos. Alternately, was called son of Cleitus.
• Coeranus, son of Polyeidos (thus grandson of the precedent), brother of Manto and Astycrateia. His own son Euchenor dedicated an image of Dionysus Dasyllius to the god at Megara.
• Coeranus, a Lycian soldier, son of Iphitus, who followed their leader, Sarpedon, to fight in the Trojan War. He was slain by the Greek hero Odysseus during the siege of Troy.
• Coeranus, a native of Lyctus in Crete, charioteer and squire of Meriones. He was slain by Hector.

In Greek mythology, Chrysippus (/kraɪˈsɪpəs, krɪ-/; Ancient Greek: Χρύσιππος, romanized: Khrúsippos, lit. 'golden horse') may refer to the following individuals:

• Chrysippus of Elis, illegitimate son of Pelops abducted and raped by Laius.
• Chrysippus, an Egyptian prince as one of the 50 sons of King Aegyptus. His mother was a Tyria and thus full brother of Clitus and Sthenelus. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus, or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre. Clitus suffered the same fate as his other brothers, save Lynceus, when they were slain on their wedding night by their wives who obeyed the command of their father King Danaus of Libya. He married the Danaid Chrysippe, daughter of Danaus and Memphis.
• Chrysippus, a son of Aeolus.

In Greek mythology, the name Pallene (/pəˈliːniː/ pə-LEE-nee; Ancient Greek: Παλλήνη) may refer to two Thracian characters:

• Pallene, one of the Alcyonides, daughters of the giant Alcyoneus. She was the sister of Alkippe, Anthe, Asteria, Drimo, Methone and Phthonia (Phosthonia or Chthonia). When their father was slain by Heracles, these girls threw themselves into the sea from Kanastraion, which is the peak of Pellene. They were then transformed into halcyons (kingfishers) by the goddess Amphitrite.
• Pallene, a Thracian princess, daughter of King Sithon and the nymph Mendeis or the naiad Achiroe, and the sister of Rhoeteia. She was wooed by Dryas and Clitus, and eventually married the latter, and had a daughter Chrysonoe (Torone), the wife of Proteus. Alternately, Pallene consorted with Dionysus.
