Neleus [Mythological] 1
- Marriage (1): Chloris [Mythological]
Research Notes:
From Wikipedia - Neleus :
Neleus was the son of Poseidon and Tyro , brother of Pelias . Tyro was married to Cretheus (with whom she had one son, Aeson ) but loved Enipeus , a river god. She pursued Enipeus, who refused her advances. One day, Poseidon , filled with lust for Tyro, disguised himself as Enipeus and from their union was born Pelias and Neleus, twin boys. Tyro exposed her sons on a mountain and they were raised by a maid. When they reached adulthood, Pelias and Neleus found Tyro and killed her stepmother, Sidero , for having mistreated her. Sidero hid in a temple to Hera but Pelias killed her anyway, causing Hera's undying hatred of Pelias. Neleus and Pelias fought for the crown, and Neleus was banished to Messenia , becoming King of Pylos . Heracles later asked Neleus to cleanse him of a blood-debt and was refused. Heracles killed Neleus and his sons, including Alastor but excluding Nestor .[1] With Chloris , Neleus was the father of Pero , Alastor and Nestor.
