< Carystus, son of Scyrius >
1 Origin
In 1305 BC, Carystus was born on the island of Scyros.
Carystus's father was Chiron (or Cheiron).
2 Family
Carystus had a son, Petraeus.
3 Others
Carystus founded the town of Carystus in the southeast of Euboea.
Anius, the son of Zarex, son of Petraeus, son of Carystus, was a priest of Delos.
Athens and Delos had a deep connection since the time of Cecrops, the first king of Athenians.
From the above, Chiron is thought to be another name for Scyris (or Sciron, Scirus), who migrated from Athens to the island of Scyros.
In other words, Carystus was the son of Scyrius, the son of Cecrops, the seventh king of Athenians.
< Cecrops, son of Pandion >
1 Origin
In 1455 BC, Cecrops was born in Athens.
Cecrops' father was Pandion, the fifth king of Athenians.
Cecrops' mother was Zeuxippe.
2 Other
Pausanias records that there was a hero's temple for Cecrops, son of Pandion, in Haliartus of Boeotia.
This Cecrops was the brother of Erechtheus, who sacrificed his daughters to Eumolpus when he invaded Attica, and his father is thought to be Pandion, the fifth king of Athens.
Haliartus had not yet been founded on the south side of Lake Copais, but the Hyantes, who had been driven out by Cadmus, lived in that area.
Nearby were Athens and Eleusis, founded by Cecrops, the first king of Athens.
Cecrops, son of Pandion, is presumed to have died fighting the Hyantes in an expedition to relieve those towns.
< Cephalus, son of Pandion > 1/2
1 Origin
In 1310 BC, Cephalus was born in Thoricus of Attica.
1.1 Father's name
Cephalus, son of Deioneus, married Procris, daughter of Erechtheus, and lived in Thoricus.
Traditions say that the father of Cephalus, husband of Procris, was Deioneus or Deion.
However, the following facts suggest that Cephalus' father was Pandion, king of Athenians.
1) Cephalus, son of Deion, was king of the Athenians.
2) Cephalus, son of Deioneus, lived in Thoricus of Attica.
3) Hyginus tells us that Cephalus was the son of Pandion.
4) Hyginus tells us that Nisus, king of Megara, was the son of Deion.
Most traditions tell us that Nisus was the son of Pandion.
Thus, Deion (or Deioneus) of Thoricus was another name for Pandion, king of Athenians.
Thoricus was one of the twelve towns that Theseus united into one.
Before Theseus, the twelve towns had their own rulers who were Erecthids, and Cephalus was probably one of them.
2 Family
Cephalus' wife was Procris.
Many traditions say that Procris was the daughter of Erechtheus.
However, Procris' father was not the sixth king of Athenians, Erechtheus, but the eighth king of Athenians, Pandion.
Therefore, Cephalus and Procris were half-siblings.
Cephalus and Procris had no children.
After Procris' death, Cephalus married Euryodeia and had a son, Arcesius (or Arcisius).
3 Others
3.1 Exile to Thebes
Cephalus succeeded Thoricus from his father, Pandion.
During the reign of Aegeus, the ninth king of Athenians, an internal conflict arose, and Cephalus was exiled by Aegeus and exiled to Thebes.
Legend has it that Cephalus killed his wife Procris and left Athens.
3.2 Settlement in Cephallenia
In 1277 BC, Cephalus participated in an expedition to the land of the Teleboans led by Amphitryon of Thebes.
Cephalus settled on the largest island in the Ionian Sea and called it Cephallenia.
Cephalus fought against the Teleboans who already lived on the island and captured Pterelas' daughter Euryodeia, whom he married.
Ithacus, Neritus, and Polyctor, the three sons of Pterelas, son of Deioneus, who were expelled from Cephallenia by Cephalus, emigrated to Ithaca.
< Cephalus, son of Deion > 2/2
1 Origin
In 1355 BC, Cephalus was born in Phocis.
Cephalus' father was Deion.
Deion's father was Aeolus, who emigrated to Phocis from Arne in Thessaly.
Cephalus' mother was Diomede, daughter of Xuthus.
2 Family
There is a tradition that Cephalus' wife was Clymene, daughter of Minyas.
However, Pausanias, who wrote this tradition, confused Cephalus, who lived in Phocis, with Cephalus, husband of Procris.
Hesiod reports that Clymene's husband was Phylacus, son of Deion, which is more plausible.
It is likely that this was misrepresented because Cephalus was the brother of Phylacus.
< Ceramus, son of Oenarus >
1 Origin
In 1270 BC, Ceramus was born in Naxos.
Ceramus' father was Oenarus, a priest of Naxos, also called Dionysus.
Ceramus' mother was Ariadne, daughter of Minos.
2 Other
In 1241 BC, Aegeus' son Theseus married Phaedra, daughter of Minos, from Crete.
It is believed that Ceramus accompanied his aunt Phaedra to Athens at this time.
Many potters migrated from Crete with Ceramus, and the Ceramicus district became the Potters' Quarter.
< Cercyon, son of Rarus >
1 Origin
In 1305 BC, Cercyon was born in Athens.
Cercyon's father was Rarus.
2 Family
Cercyon had a daughter, Alope.
3 Others
Rarus, the father of Cercyon, is thought to be a descendant of Crocon, who first settled in the Athenian lands across the Rheiti River from the Eleusinian lands.
< Ceyx, son of Actor >
1 Origin
Ceyx was born in Phthia, Thessaly, in 1273 BC. Ceyx's father was probably Actor, son of Myrmidon, for the following reasons:
1) Trachis, where Ceyx lived, was a town of the Myrmidons.
2) There is no generational contradiction if Ceyx is the son of Actor.
Ceyx is presumed to have migrated from Phthia, where his father Actor lived, across the Spercheius River, to the vicinity of Mount Oeta, and founded Trachis.
2 Family
Ceyx had a son, Hippasus. Ceyx had a daughter, Themistinoe.
2.1 Ceyx's wife Ceyx's wife was probably Aenianian, for the following reasons:
1) Ceyx led the Melians.
2) Around the time Ceyx migrated, the Aenianians also migrated from Dotium to the area near Mount Oeta.
In other words, Ceyx was a member of the Myrmidons, but most of the inhabitants of Trachis were Melians, and it is assumed that they were a branch of the Aenianians. It is believed that Ceyx married the daughter of the Melians' leader and succeeded his father-in-law as leader of the Melians.
3 Others
Trachis was already in ruins when the Gauls invaded Greece in the 3rd century BC.
< Chaeron, son of Thero >
1 Origin
In 1150 BC, Chaeron was born in Munychia of Athens.
Chaeron's mother was Thero (or Thuro).
2 Others
Chaeron founded Chaeroneia in Boeotia.
The inhabitants of Chaeroneia were Orchomenians.
From this, it can be inferred that.
During the Trojan War, Iolais, the father of Leipephilene, mother of Thero, mother of Chaeron, lived in Orchomenus, but was driven out by the Thracians and fled to Munychia in Athens.
Leipephilene married Phylas, who lived in Alopece, and had a daughter, Thero.
In 1126 BC, the Orchomenians, who had fled to Munychia with the Boeotians returning from Arne in Thessaly, recaptured Orchomenus, which had been occupied by the Thracians.
Chaeron led a group of Orchomenians who migrated to Arne after the Boeotians had left and founded Chaeroneia.
< Chalcinus, descendant of Cephalus >
1 Origin
In 1050 BC, Chalcinus was born in Cephallenia.
Chalcinus was the 10th generation descendant of Cephalus, who gave the name to Cephallenia.
2 Others
Chalcinus returned from Cephallenia to their ancestral homeland Athens with Daetus.
Cephalus was the son of Pandion, the 8th king of Athenians, and the king of Thoricus in Attica.
Cephalus was pursued by Aegeus and moved to Cephallenia via Thebes.
In other words, the Athenians accepted Chalcinus and Daetus as citizens because they were descendants of the king of Athens.
They gained Athenian citizenship at the end of the 11th century BC, which is thought to be one of the last records before Greece entered the Dark Ages.
The 5th century BC historian Hellanicus reports that Andocides, son of Leogoras, one of the ten greatest orators of Attica, was a descendant of Odysseus.
Odysseus was the great-grandson of Cephalus, and Andocides was probably a descendant of Chalcinus or Daetus.

Eune married Teucer, the son of Telamon.
Teucer and Eune had a daughter, Asteria.
3 Others
Cinyras, along with King Croesus and King Midas, was a person who was synonymous with wealth.
Cinyras' wealth is presumed to have come from the precious minerals found in Amathus, whose mother was the godmother of the town.

Euippe, the daughter of Daunus, the son of Cleolaus, married Diomedes, the son of Tydeus, who led the Aetolians to Apulia.
< Ctimenus, son of Actor >
1 Origin
Ctimenus was born in Phthia in Thessaly in 1304 BC.
Ctimenus' son Eurydamas lived in Ctimene in Dolopia, west of Phthia.
The following facts indicate that Ctimenus' father was Actor, the son of Myrmidon.
1) Part of Phthia
Phoenix, the son of Amyntor, was given Dolopia by Peleus of Phthia.
In other words, Dolopia was part of Phthia during the time of Eurydamas, the son of Ctimenus.
Ctimenus is presumed to have been from Phthia.
2) Generational agreement
Eurydamas, the son of Ctimenus, appears in the story of the expedition of the Argonauts.
Peleus, the son of Aeacus, also appears in the story of the expedition of the Argonauts.
That is, Ctimenus was of the same generation as Aeacus, and Ctimenus' father was of the same generation as Aeacus' father, Actor.

< Cletor, son of Polydore >
1 Origin
Cletor (or Clitor) was born in 1405 BC in Doris near the Peneius River in northern Thessaly.
2 Family
Cletor had a daughter named Eurymedusa, who became the mother of Myrmidon.
3 Others
3.1 Place of Residence
Cletor was called the river god Achelaus, and is thought to have lived near the river Achelaus.
The Achelaus was not the famous river that borders Acarnania and Aetolia.
That is, the Achelaus that flows through a land called Paracheloitae near Lamia in southern Thessaly and joins the Spercheius River.
Since the Myrmidons, named after Cletor's grandson Myrmidon, lived in Phthia, it is thought that Cletor's place of residence was Paracheloitae.
3.2 Ancestors
During Cletor's time, the Dryopians lived near the Spercheius River.
Dryops, the eponym of the Dryopians, was the son of Polydore, the daughter of Danaus.
Iphitus, the son of Sthenelus, the son of Perseus, the son of Danae, the daughter of Acrisius, the son of Abas, the son of Hypermnestra, the daughter of Danaus, appears in the story of the Argonauts' expedition.
In other words, Dryops is the fifth generation from the Argonauts' generation.
Cletor was the father of Eurymedusa, the mother of Myrmidon, the father of Aeacus, the father of Actor, the father of Telamon who appears in the story of the Argonauts' expedition.
In other words, Cletor is also the fifth generation from the Argonauts' generation.
Therefore, it is assumed that Cletor is the brother of Dryops and migrated from the land of the Dryopians to Paracheloitae near the Achelaus River.

Cecrops' father migrated to the Nile Delta in Egypt and founded Sais.
Cecrops migrated with his father from Boeotia to Egypt.
3.2 Diphyes
Cecrops was called Diphyes, which means "two-formed" because he spoke another language besides Greek. It means "speaking two languages".
It is assumed that the "other language" that Cecrops spoke was the Phoenician language.
The Greeks who lived in the Nile Delta had a connection with Phoenicia, which was on the sea route from Greece to Egypt. Their relationship can be inferred from the following four things.

In 1365 BC, Zetes and Calais migrated from Thracia to the island of Peuce in the Ister (now Danube) River on the west coast of the Black Sea.
It was the land inhabited by the Hyperboreans, and from there offerings were sent to Delos.
The Hyperborean kings and administrators of the sanctuary were descendants of Boreas.
In other words, Zetes and Calais were the ancestors of the Hyperboreans.
2.2 Offerings to Delos
The Hyperboreans would make an annual offering of first-fruits to Delos.

Ceryx's father was Eumolpus.
2 Family
Ceryx's wife is presumed to have been Chione, daughter of Orithyia, for the following reasons:
1) Chione gave birth to Eumolpus. Eumolpus led the Thracians during the battle between the Eleusinians and the Athenians, and rushed to the side of the Eleusinians.
2) Eumolpus, who rushed from Thracia to the battle between the Eleusinians and Erechtheus of Athens, was Ceryx's son.
In other words, Ceryx's wife was Chione, and they had a son, Eumolpus.
3 Others

Immaradus was killed in the battle, and the cult of Eleusis was inherited by Immaradus' father Eumolpus. After Eumolpus' death, Ceryx inherited the cult of Eleusis.
< Cranaus, son of Telegonus >
1 Origins
Cranaus was born in Sais in the Nile Delta in Egypt in 1557 BC.
There are no historical documents that record the names of Cranaus' parents, but it is assumed that Cranaus was the son of Telegonus and Io based on the following:
1) The Athenians were Pelasgians in ancient times.
2) The Athenians before the return of Peloponnesus of Heracleidae were Pelasgians.
3) The Athenians when they were called Cranaans were Pelasgians.
In other words, it is assumed that the Pelasgians migrated from Egypt to Athens with Cranaus.
In 1560 BC, a great famine occurred in Argos, and the inhabitants migrated to various places.
The Pelasgians, led by Iasus, the son of Triopas, migrated to Egypt.
Iasus' daughter Io married Telegonus.
In 1525 BC Cranaus, likely the son of Io, moved to Athens, taking with him the Pelasgians who had migrated from Argos to Egypt with Iasus and Io.
2 Family
Cranaus married Pedias, daughter of Mynes.
Cranaus had two daughters, Cranae and Menaechme.
Cranaus had a daughter, Atthis (or Athena).
Cranaus had a son, Rharus (or Eleusis).

3.1 Successors of Cecrops
In 1511 BC, Cranaus succeeded Cecrops as the second king of Athens.
In 1502 BC, Cranaus was banished from Athens by his son-in-law Amphictyon.
In 1492 BC, Erichthonius, the son of Cranaus' daughter Atthis, banished Amphictyon and became the fourth king of Athens.
3.2 Death of Cranaus
Expelled by Amphictyon, Cranaus fled to Lamptrae, halfway between Athens and Cape Sunium, where he died.
3.3 Son of Erysichthon, son of Cecrops
Cranaus had a son Rharus and a grandson Celeus. Why was Erichthonius, the son of Cranaus' daughter Atthis, able to ascend to the throne as king of Athens instead of them?
This is probably because Erichthonius' father, Hephaestus, was the son of Erysichthon, the son of Cecrops.
Hephaestus and Atthis were married before Cecrops' death, and Erysichthon's son Hephaestus was Cecrops' successor.
Either due to the usurpation of the throne by Cranaus or other circumstances, Hephaestus and Atthis went to Egypt.

3 Others
3.1 Emigration to Sidon
In 1430 BC, Cadmus and his father Agenor migrated from Egypt to Sidon in Phoenicia.
It is assumed that this was due to the oppression of Greeks living in the Nile Delta by Pharaoh Thutmose III of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt.
3.2 From Sidon to Rhodes
In 1425 BC, Cadmus left Sidon in search of a new land, inviting prospective emigrants from Phoenicia. Cadmus' emigration party included Phoenicians and Arabians.
Cadmus sailed left around the Aegean Sea and landed at Ialysus, northeast of Rhodes, before reemerging at Lindus, southeast of the island. In that town is the temple of Athena, founded by Danaus, to which Cadmus dedicated a bronze cauldron inscribed with Phoenicia letters.
3.3 From Rhodes to Thera
Cadmus then stopped at Calliste (later Thera) and left prospective settlers on the island, with Membliarus, son of Poeciles, as their leader. The descendants of the settlers at this time lived on the island for eight generations, until Theras, son of Autesion, settled on the island from Sparta.
3.4 Thera to Samothrace
Cadmus continued northward, traveling around the islands, and landed at Samothrace, where the highest mountain in the islands of the Aegean Sea is located.
Samothrace was inhabited by Dardanus and Megassares, who migrated from Methydrium in Arcadia in 1430 BC.
At Samothrace, Cadmus married Dardanus' sister Harmonia.
3.5 From Samothrace to Thracia
Cadmus left Samothrace, landed in Thracia, and settled near Mount Pangaeus in the northern part of the Chalcidice Peninsula, accompanied by the Telchines, who were probably prospecting wherever they went, and the gold they found in Mount Pangaeus made Cadmus became wealthy from the gold he found in the Pangaeus Mountains.
Cadmus' mother, Telephassa, died in Thracia.
3.6 From Thracia to Boeotia
In 1420 BC, a tsunami hit the coast of Thracia where Cadmus' immigrants had settled, and Cadmus again led an immigrant group through Thessaly and invaded Boeotia.
At that time, Boeotia was home to the Temmix (Temmikes), Hyantes, Ectenes, and Aonians, and fierce battles ensued. At first, Cadmus's invading group continued to lose to the natives, but by changing tactics, they won.
The Hyantes, who lived around Thebes, were driven out by the Hyantes about 160 years ago and most of them had migrated to Attica.
The Ectenes, who had remained in Boeotia, were driven out by Cadmus and migrated to Attica.
The Aonians who lived around Glissas, about 11 km northeast of Thebes, were allowed to continue living there.
3.7 Founding of Cadmeia
Cadmus built a palace on a hill in the area vacated by the Hyantes, and called it Cadmeia.
The Gephyraeans who accompanied Cadmus from Phoenicia settled in Tanagra.
The Arabians who were part of Cadmus' group also moved to Euboea and settled there.
3.8 From Boeotia to Illyria
In 1390 BC, the Encheleans, who had migrated with Cadmus to Boeotia and had settled around Lake Copais, resettled in Illyria. The migration of Athamas, son of Aeolus, from Thessaly to the east side of Lake Copais in Boeotia, is thought to have been the cause of the Encheleans' resettlement.
The Encheleans, oppressed by the native tribes of Illyria, requested assistance from Cadmus.
Cadmus complied with the Encheleans' request, re-migrated to Illyria, and died there.
Cadmus' final resting place was Buthoe (now Budua) in Illyria, where he was buried with his wife Harmonia near the Rizous River.

Xanthippe belonged to the Curetes, who had lived near Pleuron before the migration of Aetolus.
3.2 Calydon's Marriage
In 1301 BC, Calydon married Aeolia, daughter of Amythaon from Pylus in Eleia.
Aethlius, father of Endymion, father of Calydon's father Aetolus, was the brother of Salmoneus, father of Tyro, mother of Aeolia's father Amythaon.
In other words, Calydon was a third cousin of Aeolia, and they were of the same race, with Aeolus, son of Hippotes, as their common ancestor.
However, Salmoneus, grandfather of Aeolia's father Amythaon, was an enemy of Calydon's father Aetolus, who had driven him out of Elis.
3.3 Conflict between Curetes and Aeolis
Calydon married a wife from Pylus to oppose Pleuron, who was gaining power by teaming up with Curetes.
It is assumed that Aeolia's marriage was accompanied by Aeolis from Pylus, who migrated to Calydon, intensifying the conflict with Pleuron.

It is believed that Pelops was heading for his ancestors' homeland, Olympia, and heard the following from Perseus.
1) Evarete, wife of Oenomaus of Pisa, was the sister of Perseus' mother, Danae.
In other words, Oenomaus was Perseus' uncle-in-law.
2) Eurydice, sister of Amyclas of Amyclae, was the mother of Perseus' mother, Danae.
In other words, Cynortas' aunt, Eurydice, was Perseus' grandmother.
It is believed that Cynortas accompanied Pelops to Olympia along with Perseus.

The relationships between Cynortas and Pelops and Perseus are supported by the following:
1) Amyclas' daughter Hegesandre married Pelops' son Argeius.
2) Cynortas' son Oebalus' wife was Batia.
The wife of Dardanus, the founder of the Trojan Kingdom, was also named Batia.

Afterwards, Cleodaeus was counterattacked by the Mycenaeans and returned to Pindus.
However, some people, including Cleodaeus' eldest son, were unable to return to Doris and remained in Peloponnesus. They fled to Ire (later Abia) in Messenia and settled there.
On Heracleidae' final return, it is believed that they first chose Messenia as their first destination in order to join their remaining brethren. [Paus.4.30.1]

The Alpheius River, which flows from near Pallantium where Carmenta lived, flows down to the Ladon River, which joins it from the north near the border between Eleia and Arcadia.
At the time of Carmenta's marriage, the area around Onceium near the Ladon River was ruled by Oncus. [Paus.8.25.4]
Oncus was the man who provided a stallion to Heracles, who was about to attack Elis. [Paus.8.25.10]
Carmenta was of the same generation as Heracles, and Oncus is presumed to be her father.

Apollo was also Eubulus, son of Carmanor. [See Eubulus]
3.2 Father of Carmanor
Carmanor is presumed to be the son of Pandion, the eighth king of Athens, for the following reasons:
1) Phoenix, the father of Britomartis' mother Carme, was an Ogygian. [VirgilAp.220]
Britomartis was the daughter of Carme, the daughter of Eubulus, the son of Carmanor. [Paus.2.30.3]

Lebadus is thought to be the brother of Peteus, the son of Oeneus, the son of Pandion.
Peteus founded Stiris, southwest of Midea. [Paus.10.35.8]
Peteus and Lebadus are presumed to have been exiled by Aegeus, the ninth king of Athens, and Carmanor is also thought to have been exiled by Aegeus.

Apollodoros and Tzetzes, who seems to have quoted Apollodoros, say that the mother of Alcmena and Celaeneus was Anaxo, daughter of Alcaeus. [Apo.2.4.5, TzeAdLyco.932]
However, Alcmena's mother was Eurydice (or Lysidice), daughter of Pelops, so the tradition recorded by Apollodoros is incorrect. [See Alcmena, daughter of Electryon]
Probably, Celaeneus' mother was Midea, a Phrygian. [Apo.2.4.5, TzeAdLyco.932]
2 Others
2.1 Piyama-Radu
Celaeneus is thought to be the same person as the father of Tragasia, wife of Miletus, founder of Miletus. [Parthe.11]
Miletus, son of Aria, is presumed to be Atpa, mentioned in the Hittite texts. [See Miletus, son of Aria]
According to the Hittite texts, Atpa's wife was the daughter of Piyama-Radu. [wiki : Piyama-Radu]
In other words, Piyama-Radu, mentioned in the Hittite texts, is presumed to be Celaeneus, son of Electryon.
2.2 Celaeneus Residency
Celaeneus' daughter Tragasia and Miletus had two children, Caunos and Byblis. [Parthe.11]
In another tradition, it is said that it was the daughter of the river god Maeander who gave birth to Caunos and Byblis with Miletus. [Ovid.9.450]
Thus, when Tragasia was born, Celaeneus was probably living near the Maeander River, probably in Miletus.
2.3 Battle against the Hittites
Celaeneus (Piyama-Radu) fought against the Hittites together with his brother Lahurzi. [wiki: Yalanda]

3 Others
For the following reasons, Cephisus is believed to have been the leader of the Gephyraeans who migrated from Phoenicia to Boeotia and settled around Tanagra.
1) The hero's mausoleum of Eunostus, son of Cephisus' son Elieus, was in Tanagra. [Plut.QuestGr.40]
