Cretheus
In Greek mythology, Cretheus (/ˈkriːθiəs, -θjuːs/; Ancient Greek: Κρηθεύς Krētheus) was the king and founder of Iolcus, the son of Aeolus (son of Hellen) by either Enarete[1][2] or Laodice.[3] His wives were Tyro and either Demodice or Biadice.[4] With Tyro, he fathered Aeson, Pheres, and Amythaon.[5][6][7] When Cretheus found out that Tyro had an affair with Poseidon, he left her and married Sidero.[8] He also had several daughters, namely Hippolyte, future wife of Acastus[9] (otherwise known as Astydameia[10]); Myrina, who married Thoas;[11] and an unnamed daughter, who became the mother of Asterius by Teutamus.[12]
