Below, is an alternative tree for the children and grandchildren of Phorbas. It is basically the same, except that Augeias was sometimes seen as the son of Helius or Poseidon, not of Phorbas.

Also, this tree shows that Cteates and Eurytus (the Moliones) were the twin sons of Poseidon, instead of Actor.

Phorbas (king of the Lapiths) Augeias (king of Elis) Phyleus (king of Dulichium) Agasthenes (king of Elis) Moliones (Elean heroes) Tiphys (Argonaut pilot) Aetolus (king of Aetolia (and Elis)) Calydon (king of Calydon) Pleuron (king of Pleuron)
