Myles & Eurotas

Kings of Laconia. Myles (Μύλης) and Eurotas were two sons of Lelex. Cleocharia was Eurotas' mother, but Myles' mother was unnamed; which made them half-brothers. Some said that Myles was Eurotas' father and Lelex was Eurotas' grandfather. Whatever the case might have been, it's certain that Eurotas became the father of Sparta, who later became wife of Lacedaemon.

Myles was known as the Miller because it was he who invented the mill. Myles ruled Laconia (or Lelegia, as it was called at the time), after his father. At Myles' death, Eurotas succeeded him.

Eurotas became the ruler of Laconia. A river was named after Eurotas. Eurotas was probably a river god originally, or he was turned into one. Eurotas became the father of Sparta, who was named after Laconia's capital, and of Tiasa. Lacedaemon, Eurotas' son-in-law, founded the city of Sparta.
