Salmoneus in the context of "Deioneus"

In Greek mythology, Aeolus or Aiolos (/ˈiːələs/; Ancient Greek: Αἴολος [ǎi̯.olos]; Modern Greek: Αίολος [ˈe.olos] ) was the son of Hellen, the ruler of Aeolia (later called Thessaly), and the eponym of the Aeolians, one of the four main tribes of the Greeks. According to the mythographer Apollodorus, Aeolus was the father of seven sons: Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and five daughters: Canace, Alcyone, Pisidice, Calyce, and Perimede. He was said to have killed his daughter Canace (or forced her to kill herself) because she had committed incest with her brother Macareus. This Aeolus was sometimes confused with the Aeolus who was the ruler of the winds.

In Greek mythology, Calyce (Ancient Greek: Καλύκη Kalyke) or Calycia is the name of several characters.

• Calyce, one of the Nysiads, the nymphs who nursed Dionysus.
• Calyce, a Thessalian princess as the daughter of King Aeolus of Aeolia and Enarete, daughter of Deimachus. She was the sister of Athamas, Cretheus, Deioneus, Magnes, Perieres, Salmoneus, Sisyphus, Alcyone, Canace, Perimede and Peisidice. Some sources stated that Calyce was the mother of Endymion, king of Elis, by her husband Aethlius, former king of Elis or by Zeus. Other sources made her the mother, not the wife, of Aethlius (again by Zeus), and omitted her giving birth to Endymion.
• Calyce, mother of Poseidon's son Cycnus. She was given as the daughter of Hecaton. Cycnus was born in secret, and left to die on the coast, but went on to become a king. In some accounts, the mother of Cycnus was called Harpale or Scamandrodice or lastly, an unnamed Nereid.
• Calyce, a chaste maiden who was in love with one Euathlus and prayed to Aphrodite that she may become his wife rather than mistress. Nevertheless, Euathlus rejected her and she threw herself off a cliff.
• Calyce, a maenad named in a vase painting. It is possible that she is the same as the above Nysiad.

In Greek mythology, the name Perimede (/ˌpɛrɪˈmiːdi/; Ancient Greek: Περιμήδη "very cunning" or "cunning all round", derived from peri "round" and medea, "cunning" or "craft') refers to:

Aloeus (/əˈloʊjuːs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀλωεύς probably derived from ἀλοάω aloaō "to thresh, to tread" as well as "to crush, to smash") can indicate one of the two characters in Greek mythology:

• Aloeus or Haloeus, a Thessalian prince as the son of Poseidon and princess Canace, daughter of King Aeolus and Enarete. He was the brother of Hopleus, Nireus, Epopeus and Triops. His first wife was his niece Iphimedeia, and later Eriboea, daughter of Eurymachus. In some accounts, Aloeus was the father of Salmoneus who founded Elis, the girls Elate and Platanus, the twin giants, Otus and Ephialtes, collectively known as the Aloadae and lastly, the maiden Pancratis. These giants made war on the gods and captured the god Ares in a bag. Aloeus's wife Eriboea reported this to the gods, for which Aloeus had her flayed alive. In Virgil's Aeneid, the sons of Aloeus were found in the underworld and there Aeneas sees them being punished by Rhadamanthus. This scene from Virgil was a precursor to Dante's depiction of Hell. Aloeus was credited to have founded the city of Alus in Aetolia.
• Aloeus, son of Helios and possibly Antiope or Perse, who received from his father the sovereignty over the district of Asopia (Sicyon). He was the father of Epopeus, his successor.

Strabo indicates that its name derives from a king of Greek mythology called Salmoneus and he locates it in Pisatis, of which it was one of its eight towns, near Heraclea, next to a fountain that bore the same name and that was where the Enipeus (the modern Lestinitsa) flowed. It was on the road between Olympia and Elis, and although its exact location is not known for sure it was supposed to be north of the current village of Karatula, at the source of the Lestinitsa.
