Idomeneus in the context of "Meda (mythology)"

In Greek mythology, Meriones (/məˈraɪəniːz/ mə-RY-ə-neez; Ancient Greek: Μηριόνης, romanized: Mēriónēs) was the Cretan son of Molus and Melphis or Euippe. Molus was a half-brother of Idomeneus. Like other heroes of mythology, Meriones was said to be a descendant of gods. As a grandson of Deucalion (son of Minos), Meriones's ancestors include Zeus, Europa, Helios, and Pasiphae, the sister of Circe. Meriones possessed the helmet of Amyntor, which Autolycus had stolen. He inherited the helmet from his father Molus and later gave it to Odysseus. Meriones killed seven men at Troy.

In Greek mythology, Cleopatra (Ancient Greek: Κλεοπάτρα, romanized: Kleopátra means "glory of the father") was the name of the following women:

• Cleopatra (Danaid), daughter of Danaus.
• Cleopatra, daughter of King Tros of Troy and Callirhoe, daughter of the river-god Scamander. She was the sister of Ilus, Assaracus, Ganymede and possibly, Cleomestra. Cleopatra and Cleomestra probably refer to the same individual.
• Cleopatra, daughter of Boreas (the North wind) and the Athenian princess Orithyia, sister to the Boreads and Chione. She was the first wife of Phineus by whom he had a pair of sons, named either Plexippus and Pandion, or Gerymbas and Aspondus, or Polydector (Polydectus) and Polydorus, or Parthenius and Crambis.
• Cleopatra Alcyone, wife of Meleager.
• Cleopatra, wife of King Deucalion of Crete and mother of Idomeneus.
• Cleopatra and Periboea of Locris, two maidens sent to the Trojan temple of Athena in retribution for Ajax the Lesser's sacrilege. This was done because three years after the Locrians had regained their country, they suffered a plague. Then an oracle bade them to propitiate Athena at Troy, sending two maidens as suppliants for a thousand years. The first lot fell on Periboea and Cleopatra, and after their deaths others were sent.

Idomeneo, re di Creta ossia Ilia e Idamante (Italian for Idomeneus, King of Crete, or, Ilia and Idamante; usually referred to simply as Idomeneo, K. 366) is an Italian-language opera seria by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The libretto was adapted by Giambattista Varesco from a French text by Antoine Danchet, based on a 1705 play by Crébillion père, which had been set to music by André Campra as Idoménée in 1712. Mozart and Varesco were commissioned in 1780 by Karl Theodor, Elector of Bavaria for a court carnival. He probably chose the subject, though it may have been Mozart. The work premiered on 29 January 1781 at the Cuvilliés Theatre in Munich, Germany.

Leucus eventually killed Meda and took possession of the kingdom; he also killed her daughter Cleisithyra, despite the fact that she was betrothed to him by Idomeneus, and two sons of Meda, Iphiclus and Lycus (or Leucus).
