Schoeneus
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In Greek mythology, Schoeneus (Σχοινεύς) was the name of several individuals:
- Schoeneus, a Boeotian king, the son of Athamas and Themisto.[1][2][3][4] He may have emigrated to Arcadia, where a village Schoenous and a river Schoeneus flowing by it were believed to have been named after him,[5][6] and where his children were believed to have originated from. He was the father of Atalanta,[7] and also of the Arcadian Clymenus.[8]
- Schoeneus, a son of Autonous and Hippodamia. When his brother Anthus was killed by their father's horses, Zeus and Apollo pitied Schoeneus and transformed him into a bird.[9]
- Schoeneus, a man who reared Orestes, from whose home Orestes directed to Argos to avenge the death of his father on Clytaemnestra.[10]
