Nauplius (mythology) in the context of "Telephus"

In Greek mythology, Aerope (Ancient Greek: Ἀερόπη) was a Cretan princess as the daughter of Catreus, king of Crete. She was the sister of Clymene, Apemosyne and Althaemenes. After an oracle said he would be killed by one of his children, Catreus gave Aerope to Nauplius to be sold abroad. Nauplius spared her, and she became the wife of Atreus or Pleisthenes (or both). By most accounts, she is the mother of Agamemnon and Menelaus. While the wife of Atreus, she became the lover of his brother Thyestes, and gave Thyestes the golden lamb that allowed him to become king of Mycenae.

In Greek mythology, Proetus (/ˈpriːtəs/; Ancient Greek: Προῖτος Proitos) may refer to the following personages:

• Proetus, king of Argos and Tiryns, son of Abas and twin brother of Acrisius.
• Proetus, a prince of Corinth as the son of Prince Thersander, son of King Sisyphus. He was the father of Maera who died a maiden. Scholiasts on the Odyssey confound him with the Argive Proetus.
• Proetus of Thebes, eponym of the Proetid Gates, and father of Galanthis.
• Proetus of Nauplia, a son of Nauplius I and father of Lernus.
• Proetus, a son of Agenor (?). It is unclear whether Stephanus is referring to a son of Agenor named Proetus, or to the Argive Proetus as a descendant of Agenor.

In Greek mythology, the name Meda (Ancient Greek: Μήδα) or Mede (Μέδη or Μήδη) may refer to:

• Meda, wife of King Idomeneus. While her husband fought at Troy, she had a love affair with Leucus (like Clytaemnestra and Aegiale, she became unfaithful to her husband at the instigation of Nauplius). However, Leucus eventually killed Meda and her daughter Cleisithyra, and seized the power over the kingdom of Idomeneus.
• Meda, daughter of Phylas and mother of Antiochus by Heracles.
• Mede, another name for Iphthime, daughter of Icarius of Sparta and Asterodia, daughter of Eurypylus. She was the sister of Penelope, Amasichus, Phalereus, Thoon, Pheremmelias, Perilaos. Mede was also called Hypsipyle, Laodamia and Laodice.

Peristhenes (/pəˈrɪsθəˌniːz/; Ancient Greek: Περισθένης Peristhénēs means "exceeding strong"), in Greek mythology, may refer to:

• Peristhenes, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus. His mother was the naiad Caliadne and thus full brother of Eurylochus, Phantes, Hermus, Dryas, 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. Peristhenes 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 Electra, daughter of Danaus and the naiad Polyxo.
• Peristhenes, son of Damastor and grandson of the elder Nauplius. By Androthoe, daughter of Pericastor, he was father of the fisherman Dictys and Polydectes, king of Seriphos. Otherwise, these two sons were called the children of Magnes and an unnamed naiad or of Poseidon and Cerebia.

Clytius (Ancient Greek: Κλυτίος), also spelled Klythios, Klytios, Clytios, and Klytius, is the name of multiple people in Greek mythology:

• Clytius, one of the Giants, sons of Gaia, killed by Hecate during the Gigantomachy, the battle of the Giants versus the Olympian gods.
• Clytius, an alternative name for Clytoneus, the son of Naubolus of Argos and father of Nauplius II.
• Clytius, son of Agriopas and grandson of Cyclops. He fought in the war between Eumolpus and Eleusis and fell alongside Eumolpus' son Immaradus and Egremus, son of Eurynomus.
• Clytius, the Athenian father of Pheno who married King Lamedon of Sicyon. Ianiscus, descendant of this Clytius, became king in Sicyon after Adrastus.
• Clytius, a man killed by Perseus in the battle against Phineus.
• Clytius, a warrior in the army of Dionysus during the god's Indian campaign. He was killed by Corymbasus.
• Clytius, an Argonaut and an Oechalian prince as son of King Eurytus and Antiope or Antioche, and thus brother to Iole, Toxeus, Deioneus, Molion, Didaeon and Iphitos. According to Hyginus, he was killed by Aeetes, if the text is not corrupt; according to Diodorus Siculus, however, he was killed by Heracles during the latter's war against Eurytus.
• Clytius, in a rare version of the myth, a son of Phineus and brother of Polymedes: the two brothers killed Phineus' second, Phrygian, wife (Idaea?) at the instigation of Cleopatra.
• Clytius, a Trojan prince as the son of King Laomedon and brother of the later ruler Priam. He was also one of the Elders of Troy during the siege of the city. By Laothoe, he was the father of Caletor, Procleia and Pronoe or Pronome, of whom the latter was the mother of Polydamas by Panthous.
• Clytius, son of Alcmaeon and Alphesiboea. He moved from Psophis to Elis in order to escape his mother's vengeful brothers. The Clytidae, a clan of soothsayers, claimed descent from him. According to Stephanus of Byzantium, his mother was Triphyle, the eponym of Triphylia.
• Clytius, each of the three namesakes among the Suitors of Penelope: one from Dulichium, another from Same, and the third from Zacynthus. These men asked the hand in marriage of Penelope but suffered the same fate at the hands of the hero Odysseus. The latter shot all of them dead with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.
• Clytius, an attendant of Telemachus in Homer's Odyssey, the father of Telemachus' friend Peiraeus. Dolops, a Greek warrior killed by Hector in the Iliad, could also have been his son.
• Clytius, one of the sons of Aeolus who followed Aeneas to Italy and was killed by Turnus.
• Clytius, father of Euneus (one of those killed in the battle between Aeneas and Turnus).
• Clytius, a young soldier in the army of Turnus who was loved by Cydon in Virgil's Aeneid, and was killed by Aeneas.
• Clytius, father of Acmon and Menestheus from Lyrnessus, Phrygia.

To these can be added several figures not mentioned in extant literary sources and only known from various vase paintings:

Palamedes (Ancient Greek: Παλαμήδης) was a Euboean prince, son of King Nauplius in Greek mythology. He joined the rest of the Greeks in the expedition against Troy. He was associated with the invention of dice, numbers, and letters.

In Greek mythology, the name Leucus or Leukos (Ancient Greek: Λεῦκος "white") may refer to:

• Leucus, son of the bronze giant Talos of Crete and foster son of King Idomeneus. Following the advice of Nauplius, he seduced Meda, wife of Idomeneus, who had been convinced by Nauplius not to stay faithful to her husband, when Idomeneus himself had gone to Trojan War. 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). Idomeneus was driven out of Crete by Leucus upon return from Troy.
• Leucus, a companion of Odysseus, killed by Antiphus.
• Leucus, a singer from Lesbos in the army of Dionysus.
• Leucus, an epithet of Hermes in Boeotia.

In Greek mythology, the name Naubolus (Ancient Greek: Ναύβολος) may refer to:

• Naubolus of Phocis, son of Ornytus (or of Hippasus), and King of Phocis. By Perineike, daughter of Hippomachus, he became the father of the Argonaut Iphitos, and also of Antiphateia, who married Crisus.
• Naubolus, father of Pylon, king of Oechalia. The latter's daughter Antiope was the mother, by Eurytus, of Iole, Didaeon, Deioneus, Toxeus, Clytius, Molion and another Iphitos, of whom the last two are also counted among the Argonauts.
• Naubolus of Argos, who belonged to the lineage that linked the two figures of the name Nauplius: Nauplius I - Proetus - Lernus - Naubolus - Clytoneus (Clytius) - Nauplius II (the Argonaut).
• Naubolus, a Phaeacian, father of Euryalus.

In Greek mythology, Clytoneus (Ancient Greek: Κλυτόνηος or Κλυτονήου) or Clytonaeus may refer to two different individuals:

• Clytoneus or Clytius, son of Naubolus of Argos and father of the Argonaut Nauplius II, father of Palamedes.
• Clytoneus, a prince of Corcyra as son of King Alcinous and Arete. Thus, he was the brother of Nausicaa, Halius and Laodamas. Clytoneus and his brother are the winners of the foot-racing contest in honour of Odysseus.
