Leucopeus in the context of "Alcathous"

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, the name Euryte /ˈjʊərɪtiː/ (Ancient Greek: Εὐρύτη means "width") may refer to following women:

• Euryte, the nymph mother of Halirrhothius by Poseidon. She may be the same with Bathycleia, another name for the mother of Halirrhothius.
• Euryte, daughter of Hippodamas and granddaughter of Achelous. By King Porthaon of Calydon, she was the mother of Oeneus, Agrius, Leucopeus, Melas, Alcathous and Sterope.

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.
• Sterope, one of the horses of Helios.

Sterope is also the name of one of the stars in the Pleiades star cluster.
