| Neleus, Greek Mythology Link. (1321 words) |
 | Some have said that Neleus is son of Hippocoon 4, but others affirm that he was the son of Cretheus 1, son of Aeolus 1, son of Hellen 1, the eponym of the Hellenes, son of Deucalion 1, the man who survived the Flood. |
| Tyro, who is said to have been brought up by Cretheus 1, fell in love with the river god Enipeus (a river in Thessaly), and as she came often to the waters of the river to chant her love, Poseidon, taking the form of the river, lay with her. |
| However, this was of not avail to the woman, because Pelias 1, without a shadow of respect for the shrine, killed her on the altars, thus incurring the hate of the goddess, and setting up a firm base for his own destruction. |
