Pheres in the context of "Clymenus"

In Greek mythology, Philomela (Ancient Greek: Φιλομήλα) is identified by Gaius Julius Hyginus as the wife of Menoetius and mother of Patroclus. The former was one of the Argonauts and the latter a participant of the Trojan War. However, the Bibliotheca listed three other wives of Menoetius and possible mothers of Patroclus:

1. Periopis, daughter of Pheres, founder of Pherae
2. Polymele, daughter of Peleus, King of Phthia and an older half-sister to Achilles and
3. Sthenele, daughter of Acastus and Astydamia.

In some accounts, Damocrateia, daughter of Aegina and Zeus was also called the wife of Menoetius and mother of Patroclus.

In Greek mythology, Periopis (Ancient Greek: Περίωπις) was a princess of Pherae as daughter of King Pheres and possibly, Periclymene, daughter of King Minyas of Orchomenus. She was the possible sister of Admetus, Lycurgus, Eidomene, and Antigona. Periopis was the mother of Patroclus by Menoetius. Otherwise, the hero's mother was called Damocrateia, Sthenele, Polymele or Philomela.

In Greek mythology, Gorge (Ancient Greek: Γόργη, comes from the adjective gorgos, "terrible" or "horrible") may refer to:

• Gorge, a Libyan princess as one of the Danaïdes, daughters of King Danaus. Her mother was either the hamadryads Atlanteia or Phoebe and thus, probably the full sister of Hippodamia, Rhodia, Cleopatra, Asteria, Hippodamia, Glauce, Hippomedusa, Iphimedusa and Rhode. She married and murdered Hippothous, son of Aegyptus.
• Gorge, a Calydonian princess as the daughter of King Oeneus and Althaea, daughter of King Thestius of Pleuron. She was the sister of Deianeira, Meleager, Toxeus, Clymenus, Periphas, Agelaus (or Ageleus), Thyreus (or Phereus or Pheres), Eurymede and Melanippe. Gorge married Andraemon and became the mother of a son Thoas who led the Aetolian contingent for the Greeks in the Trojan War. Artemis changed her sisters into birds because of their constant mourning over the death of their brother Meleager, but spared Gorge and Deianeira. Apollodorus says that according to Pisander, she was the mother of Tydeus by her own father Oeneus, because "Zeus willed it that Oeneus should fall in love with his own daughter".
• Gorge, a woman of Lemnos who slew Elymus the night Lemnian women killed their men.
• Gorge, a Maenad in the retinue of Dionysus during his Indian campaign.

In Greek mythology, the name Eriopis (Ancient Greek: Ἐριῶπις) may refer to:

• Eriopis, 'with the lovely hair', the daughter of Apollo and Arsinoe (herself daughter of Leucippus), thus possibly a sister of Asclepius.
• Eriopis, the only daughter of the hero Jason and the Colchian sorceress Medea, the daughter of King Aeëtes. She was the sister of Medeus (also known as Polyxenus).
• Eriopis, mother of Ajax the Lesser by Oileus. Scholia on the Iliad inform that she was a daughter of Pheres and Clymene, and was also known as Eriope or Alcimache. Otherwise, the latter was the daughter of Phylax.
• Eriopis, consort of Anchises and mother by him of a daughter Hippodamia.

In Greek mythology, Periclymene or Periklymene (Ancient Greek: Περικλύμενη means 'renowned') may refer to two distinct characters:

• Periclymene, a Minyan princess as the daughter of King Minyas of Orchomenus and Euryanassa . She became the mother of Admetus, Lycurgus, Eidomene (wife of Amythaon), Periopis (mother of Patroclus) and Antigona (mother of Asterius), by King Pheres of Pherae. Periclymene or Clymene was also said to have Iphiclus, Alcimede and possibly Clymenus by Phylacus of Phylace. Other sources would identify Iphiclus as her son by Cephalus, son of Deion and brother of Phylacus.
• Periclymene, one of the maenads named in a vase painting.

In Greek mythology, Lycurgus (/laɪˈkɜːrɡəs/; Ancient Greek: Λυκοῦργος Lykoûrgos, Ancient Greek: /lykôrɡos/), also spelled Lykurgos or Lykourgos, was the son of Pheres, and the husband of Eurydice (or Amphithea) by whom he was the father of Opheltes. In the earliest account, Lycurgus was a priest of Nemean Zeus, while in later accounts he was a king of Nemea.

When the army of the Seven against Thebes was passing through Nemea on its way to Thebes, Lycurgus' infant son Opheltes was killed by a serpent, through the negligence of his nursemaid Hypsipyle. The child's funeral games were said to have been the origin of the Nemean Games and Lycurgus' tomb was said to be in the grove of Nemean Zeus.

In Greek mythology, Amythaon (/ˌæməˈθeɪɒn/; Ancient Greek: Ἀμυθάων, gen.: Ἀμυθάονος) was prince of Iolcus as the son of King Cretheus and Tyro, daughter of King Salmoneus of Elis. He was the brother of Aeson and Pheres. Amythaon dwelt at Pylos in Messenia, and by Idomene, his niece, or by Aglaia became the father of Bias, Melampus, Aeolia and Perimele. His wife Idomene is sometimes said to be daughter of Abas, king of Argos.

In Greek mythology, the name Toxeus or Toxius (Ancient Greek: Τοξεύς, romanized: Toxeús, lit. 'bowman') refers to the following individuals:

• Toxius, son of Caelus (Uranus) who was the inventor of building with clay, it having been suggested to him from swallows' nests.
• Toxeus, a Pleuronian prince as the son of King Thestius and thus, brother of Althaea. He participated in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar but was angry that the prize of the boar's hide had been given to a woman (Atalanta) by his nephew Meleager, who then killed him in the ensuing argument.
• Toxeus, a Calydonian prince as the son of King Oeneus and Althaea (which makes him a nephew of the above Toxeus). He was the brother of Meleager, Clymenus, Periphas, Agelaus (or Ageleus), Thyreus (or Phereus or Pheres), Deianeira, Gorge, Eurymede and Melanippe. Toxeus was killed by his father for leaping over the trench which had been dug around Calydon. (This is paralleled by Remus overleaping that of Rōmulus. Cf. also the story of Poemander).
• Toxeus, an Oechalian prince as son of King Eurytus and Antiope or Antioche and brother of Clytius and Molion. All three were slain by Heracles. His other siblings were Iole, Deioneus, Didaeon and Iphitos.
