Peleus

In Greek mythology, Peleus (; , ''Pēleus'') was a hero whose myth was already known to the hearers of Homer in the late 8th century BC.〔Peleus is mentioned in Homer's ''Odyssey'' during the conversation between Odysseus and the dead Achilles.〕 Peleus was the son of Aeacus, king of the island of Aegina,〔The island lies in the Saronic Gulf opposite the coast of Epidaurus; it had once been called Oenone, Pausanias was informed.〕 and Endeïs, the oread of Mount Pelion in Thessaly.〔In poetry he and Telamon are sometimes the ''Endeides'', the "sons of Endeis"; see, for example, Pausanias 2.29.10.〕 He married the sea-nymph Thetis with whom he fathered Achilles.
Peleus and his brother Telamon were friends of Heracles, and served in Heracles' expedition against the Amazons, his war against King Laomedon, and his quest for the Golden Fleece. Though there were no further kings in Aegina, the kings of Epirus claimed descent from Peleus in the historic period.〔Pausanias, 2.29.4.〕
==Life myth==
Peleus and his brother Telamon killed their half-brother Phocus, perhaps in a hunting accident and certainly in an unthinking moment,〔"A witless moment" (Apollonius, ''Argonautica'', I. 93,〕 and fled Aegina to escape punishment. In Phthia, Peleus was purified by Eurytion and married Antigone, Eurytion's daughter, by whom he had a daughter, Polydora. Eurytion received the barest mention among the Argonauts (Peleus and Telamon were Argonauts themselves) "yet not together, nor from one place, for they dwelt far apart and distant from Aigina;"〔Apollonius of Rhodes, ''Argonautica'' I.90-93, in Peter Green's translation (2007:45).〕 but Peleus accidentally killed Eurytion during the hunt for the Calydonian Boar and fled from Phthia.
Peleus was purified of the murder of Eurytion in Iolcus by Acastus. Astydameia, Acastus' wife, fell in love with Peleus but he scorned her. Bitter, she sent a messenger to Antigone to tell her that Peleus was to marry Acastus' daughter. As a result, Antigone hanged herself.
Astydameia then told Acastus that Peleus had tried to rape her. Acastus took Peleus on a hunting trip and hid his sword then abandoned him right before a group of centaurs attacked. Chiron, the wise centaur, or, according to another source, Hermes, returned Peleus' sword with magical powers and Peleus managed to escape.〔Aristophanes, ''The Clouds'', 1063-1067.〕 He pillaged Iolcus and dismembered Astydameia, then marched his army between the rended limbs. Acastus and Astydamia were dead and the kingdom fell to Jason's son, Thessalus.
