Epeius in the context of Naxos (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Chromia (/ˈkroʊmiə/; Ancient Greek: Χρωμία, Khrōmía) was the daughter of Itonus, son of Amphictyon, himself son of Deucalion. She was also, in some traditions, the mother of Aetolus, Paeon, Epeius and Eurycyda by Endymion.

The poem Endymion, a Tale of Greece, by Henry B. Hirst (1848) is a modern retelling of the legend of Endymion and Chromia.

Alector (/əˈlɛktər/; Ancient Greek: Ἀλέκτωρ) refers to more than one person in classical mythology and history:

• Alector, son of Magnes and Meliboea, eponyms of Magnesia and the town of Meliboea respectively.
• Alector, the Boeotian father of Leitus. Homer calls him "Alectryon", and Diodorus "Electryon", naming him among the sons of Itonus. According to Tzetzes, Alector was also the father of Clonius, Arcesilaus and Prothoenor (his nephews according to Diodorus) by different mothers: he is said to have fathered Leitus with Polybule, Arcesilaus with Cleobule, Prothoenor with Arteis, and Clonius with Acteis.
• Alector, an Elean prince as the son of King Epeius, and brother of Hyrmine. Later on, he succeeded his father on the throne of Elis but in fear of the overlordship of King Pelops of Pisa, he summoned Phorbas from Olenus to his aid and gave his new ally a share of the kingdom. By Phorbas’ daughter, Diogeneia, Alector became father of Amarynceus.
• Alector, the Argive son of Anaxagoras and father of King Iphis of Argos.
• Alector of Sparta, son of Argeus (son of Pelops) and Hegesandra, daughter of King Amyclas. He has two brothers, Melanion and Boethoos. Alector was the father of Iphiloche (or Echemela), who married Megapenthes, son of Menelaus.

Phocus (/ˈfoʊkəs/; Ancient Greek: Φῶκος means "seal" (marine animal) was the name of the eponymous hero of Phocis in Greek mythology. Ancient sources relate of more than one figure of this name, and of these at least two are explicitly said to have had Phocis named after them.

• Phocus, the son of Poseidon and Pronoe, possible eponym of Phocis according to a scholiast on the Iliad.
• Phocus, son of Aeacus and Psamathe, also possible eponym of Phocis according to a scholiast on the Iliad.
• Phocus, son of Ornytion.
• Phocus, father of Callirhoe.
• Phocus, father of Manthea (seems to be a variation of the Callisto story) who consorted with Zeus (who was in the form of a bear) and became the mother of Arctos (seems to be variation of the character of Arcas) by the god according to clementine literature, Recognitions. The figure is mentioned by the literature to criticize the evils of polytheism in the views of Christianity, specifically focusing on adulteries of Zeus.
• Phocus and Priasus, two sons of Caeneus, were counted among the Argonauts.
• Phocus the builder, son of Danaus, is mentioned by Hyginus among the Achaeans against Troy, but is otherwise unknown. Epeius, builder of the Trojan Horse, was a grandson of Phocus the son of Aeacus.

Phocus is also the name of the son of Phocion.

It is mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships of the Iliad as one of the towns of the Epeii. It appears to have been regarded as one of the most ancient of the Epeian towns, since Pausanias repeats the legend that it had been founded by Actor, the son of Hyrmine, who was a daughter of Epeius, and describes the town as between the cape of Cyllene near Araxus, near the frontier with Achaea. In the time of Strabo the town had disappeared, but its site was marked by a rocky promontory near Cyllene, called Hormina or Hyrmina.

Hyrmine is located near the castle of Chlemoutsi.

There are several characters named Amphion in Greek mythology:

Paeon or Paion (Ancient Greek: Παίων, gen.: Παίονος), in Greek mythology, was an Elean prince as son of King Endymion, and brother of Epeius, Aetolus, Eurycyda and possibly Naxos. From him, the district of Paeonia, on the Axius river in Macedonia, was believed to have derived its name.

In Greek mythology, Eurycyda (Ancient Greek: Εὐρυκύδα, sic) was an Elean princess as the daughter of King Endymion of Elis by either Asterodia, Chromia or Hyperippe. Her brothers were Aetolus, Epeius, Paeon and possibly Naxos.

With Poseidon, she mothered Eleius, after whom the region of Elis was named, as was its people, the Eleans. Several authors refer to her as "Eurypyle".
