Euryte in the context of "Alcathous"

Halirrhothius (/ˌhælɪˈroʊθiəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἁλιρρόθιος, romanized: Halirrhóthios, lit. 'sea-foam') was the Athenian son of Poseidon and Euryte or Bathycleia in Greek mythology. He was also called the son of Perieres and husband of Alcyone who bore him two sons, Serus and Alazygus. Another son of Halirrhothius, Samos of Mantinea was the victor of the four-horse chariot during the first Olympic games established by Heracles.

In Greek mythology, the name Melas (Ancient Greek: Μέλας, romanized: Mélas, lit. 'black, dark') refers to a number of characters.

• Melas, son of Poseidon and an unnamed nymph of Chios, brother of Agelus. He may or may not be identical to Melas, son of Poseidon, who was said to have given his name to the river Melas in Egypt, which was later renamed Nile.
• Melas, a Calydonian prince as one of the sons of King Porthaon and Euryte, and thus, brother of Oeneus, Agrius, Alcathous, Leucopeus and Sterope. He was the father of Pheneus, Euryalus, Hyperlaus, Antiochus, Eumedes, Sternops, Xanthippus and Sthenelaus, who were all slain by Tydeus for plotting against their uncle Oeneus.
• Melas, a son of Phrixus and Chalciope. By Eurycleia, daughter of Athamas and Themisto, he became the father of Hyperes.
• Melas, son of Licymnius. He and his brother Argius accompanied Heracles in his campaign against Eurytus, and both fell in the battle.
• Melas, son of Oenopion and possibly the nymph Helice. He was the brother of Talus, Euanthes, Salagus, Athamas and Merope (Aero). He, together with his father and brothers, sailed from Crete to Chios and settled there.
• Melas, son of Antasus, from Gonusa near Sicyon. He expressed desire to join the Dorians in their expedition against Corinth. Aletes consulted the oracle of Apollo about him; the god expressed disapproval, and Aletes at first told Melas to go and search for other allies among the Greeks, but then changed his mind and, neglecting the prophecy, let him join. Melas was the ancestor of Cypselus.
• Melas, son of Ops. Athena assumed his shape to persuade Teuthis not to withdraw his army from Aulis. Teuthis, outraged, hit whom he took for Melas with a spear and did return home. Later, he saw the wounded goddess in a dream; he was then struck with a wasting disease, and his country suffered from famine.
• Melas, one of the Tyrrhenian pirates who attempted to delude Dionysus but were transformed into dolphins by him.

In Greek mythology, Bathycleia was the mother of Hallirrhothius by Poseidon. After her son raped Alcippe, the maiden's father Ares, in revenge, killed Halirrhothius. Bathycleia may be the same as the nymph Euryte, another name for the mother of Halirrhothius.

In Greek mythology, Hippodamas (/hɪˈpɒdəməs/ hi-POD-ə-məs; Ancient Greek: Ἱπποδάμας, gen. Ἱπποδάμαντος) may refer to the following characters:

• Hippodamas, son of the river-god Achelous and princess Perimede, daughter of King Aeolus of Thessaly. He was the brother of Orestes and father of Euryte, wife of Porthaon.
• Hippodamas, father of Perimele. He pushed his daughter off a cliff when he discovered that she was having a love affair with Achelous.
• Hippodamas, a Trojan prince and son of King Priam of Troy. He was killed by Ajax the Great.
• Hippodamas, a Trojan soldier who was killed by Odysseus.
• Hippodamas, another Trojan, was killed by Achilles.

In Greek mythology, Agrius (/ˈæɡriəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄγριος Agrios means 'wild, savage') was a Calydonian prince as the son of King Porthaon and Euryte; he was the brother of Oeneus (successor of their father as king of Calydon), Alcathous, Melas, Leucopeus, and Sterope.

Sterope (/ˈstɛrəpiː/; Ancient Greek: Στερόπη, [sterópɛː], from στεροπή, steropē, lightning) was the name of several individuals in Greek mythology:

• Sterope (or Asterope), one of the Pleiades and the wife of Oenomaus (or his mother by Ares).
• Sterope, a Pleuronian princess as the daughter of King Pleuron and Xanthippe. She was the sister of Agenor, Stratonice and Laophonte.
• Sterope, a Calydonian princess as the daughter of King Porthaon and Euryte or Laothoe. She was the sister of Oeneus, Agrius, Melas, Leucopeus, Stratonice and Eurythemiste. Sterope was sometimes said to be the mother of the Sirens by Achelous.
• Sterope, an Arcadian princess as the daughter of Cepheus, king of Tegea.
• Sterope, a princess of Iolcus as the daughter of King Acastus by either Astydamia or Hippolyte.
• Sterope, daughter of Helios and wife of King Eurypylus of Cyrene by whom she became the mother of Lycaon and Leucippus.
• Sterope, one of the Maenads. She followed Dionysus during the god's Indian campaign but was slain by Morrheus.
