Jason and the Argonauts
Amphion, son of Zeus and Antiope, and twin brother of Zethus. Together they are famous for building Thebes. Amphion married Niobe, and killed himself after the loss of his wife and children (the Niobids) at the hands of Apollo and Artemis. One of his surviving children was the daughter now renamed as Chloris.
In Greek mythology, Hylas was the son of King Theiodamas of the Dryopians. Other sources such as Ovid state that Hylas' father was Heracles and his mother was the nymph Melite, or that his mother was the wife of Theiodamus, whose adulterous affair with Heracles caused the war between him and her husband. He gained his beauty from his divine mother and his military prowess from his demigod father.
After Heracles killed Theiodamus in battle for his son, Hylas, he took the boy on as arms bearer, and taught him to be a warrior.
The son of Poseidon, granted by his father the power to walk on water. Euphemus's mother is variously named: Europe, daughter of the giant Tityos; Oris, daughter of Orion; or Macionice, daughter of Eurotas. His residence is given as Panopeus in Phocis, or Hyria in Boeotia, or Taenarum in Laconia. Euphemus joined the voyage of the Argonauts, and served the crew well as helmsman. By a Lemnian woman (Malicha, Malache, or Lamache) he became the father of Leucophanes. Medea prophesied that he would one day rule Libya; her prophesy came true when Battus of Thera, an alleged distant descendant of Euphemus (by 17 generations), founded Cyrene.
In Greek mythology, Oileus (or Oïleus (??????)) was the king of Locris. His father was given as Odoedocus (whom Oileus succeeded as King of Locris) and his mother as Agrianome (otherwise unknown). Oileus's wife was Eriopis, who bore him a son named Ajax. Oileus was also the father of Medon, who is usually regarded as illegitimate; Medon's mother was said to be a nymph named Rhene, not Eriopis. Oileus was also an Argonaut.
In Greek mythology, Nestor of Gerênia was the son of Neleus and Chloris, and the King of Pylos. He became king after Heracles killed Neleus and all of Nestor's brothers and sisters.
In Greek mythology, Idmon was an Argonaut seer. His father is said to have been Apollo but his mortal father was Abas. His mother was Asteria (or Cyrene). He foresaw his own death in the Argonaut expedition but joined anyway and was killed by a boar in the land of the Mariandyni, in Bithynia.[1] When in 559 BC the citizens of Megara founded the city of Heraclea (today's Eregli), they built a temple over the spot he was buried.
In Greek mythology, Laërtes was the son of Arcesius and Chalcomedusa. He was the father of Odysseus (who was thus called Laertiades, ??????????) and Ctimene by his wife Anticlea, daughter of the thief Autolycus. Laërtes was an Argonaut and participated in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar. Laërtes's title was King of the Cephallenians, which he presumably inherited from his father Arcesius and grandfather Cephalus. His realm included Ithaca and surrounding islands, and perhaps even the neighboring part of the mainland of other Greek city-states.
In Greek mythology, Idas was a son of Aphareus and Arene and brother of Lynceus. He and Lynceus loved Hilaeira and Phoebe and fought with their rival suitors, Castor and Polydeuces, killing the mortal brother Castor. He was also one of the Argonauts and a participant in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar. He kidnapped Marpessa. Apollo also desired her and Zeus made the girl choose. Idas had one daughter named Cleopatra.
In Greek mythology, Euryalus was the son of Mecisteus. He attacked the city of Thebes as one of the Epigoni, who took the city and avenged the deaths of their fathers, who had also attempted to invade Thebes. In Homer's Iliad, he fought in the Trojan War, where he was brother-in-arms of Diomedes, and one of the Greeks to enter the Trojan Horse. He lost the boxing match to Epeius at the funeral games for Patrocles.
Jason was a late ancient Greek mythological figure, famous as the leader of the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece. He was the son of Aeson, the rightful king of Iolcus. He was married to the sorceress Medea.
Bellerophon or Bellerophontes was a hero of Greek mythology. He was "the greatest hero and slayer of monsters, alongside of Kadmos and Perseus, before the days of Heracles",[1] whose greatest feat was killing the Chimera, a monster that Homer depicted with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail: "her breath came out in terrible blasts of burning flame.
In Greek mythology, Herakles a compound of the goddess 'Hera'and the Greek word 'kleos' meaning "glory of Hera", or "glorious through Hera" was a divine hero, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, foster son of Amphitryon[4] and great-grandson (and half-brother) of Perseus. He was the greatest of the Greek heroes, a paragon of masculinity, the ancestor of royal clans who claimed to be Heracleidae and a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters. In Rome and the modern West, he is known as Hercules, with whom the later Roman Emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximian, often identified themselves. The Romans adopted the Greek version of his life and works essentially unchanged, but added anecdotal detail of their own, some of it linking the hero with the geography of the Central Mediterranean. Details of his cult were adapted to Rome as well.
Son of Acheron and Orphne. He told the other gods that Persephone had eaten a pomegranate in Hades. He was punished by being changed into an owl. He was on the crew of Jason's Argo in the quest for the Golden Fleece.
