Perieres
Perieres (Περιήρης) was the son of Aeolus and Enarete. He was the brother of Cretheus, Athamas, Sisyphus and Salmoneus.
At the death of Polycaon, king of Messenia, people asked Perieres to rule the kingdom, since Polycaon had no son or heir. He lived in Andania with his wife Gorgophone, daughter of Perseus.
Perieres was the father of Aphareus and Leucippus. His sons ruled Messenia at his death.
His wife Gorgophone then married Oebalus, son of Cynortas, and the king of Sparta. She had Tyndareüs (Tyndareus), Hippocoön (Hippocoon) and Icarius, and two daughters - Arene and Peirene.
