In Greek mythology, Aleus (or Aleos) () was the king of Arcadia, eponym of Alea, and founder of the cult of Athena Alea. He was the grandson of Arcas. His daughter Auge was the mother of the hero Telephus, by Heracles. His sons Amphidamas and Cepheus, and his grandson Ancaeus were Argonauts. Ancaeus was killed by the Calydonian boar. ==Mythology== Aleus was the son of Apheidas whose father was Arcas, the son of Zeus and Callisto, and the eponym of Arcadia.〔Apollodorus, (3.8.2 ), (3.9.1 ), Pausanias, (8.4.1–2 ), (8.4.4 ), Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' (155 ).〕 Some accounts make Aleus the brother of Stheneboea, the wife of Proetus.〔An early genealogy in Hesiod's ''Catalogue of Women'' (Hesiod fragment 129 Merkelbach–West numbering, Most, pp. 148–151) has Stheneboea as the daughter of Aleus' father Apheidas (see also Apollodorus (3.9.1 )) but by the time of Euripides' lost tragedy ''Stheneboea'' her father is Iobates (Gantz, I pp. 311–312), see Apollodorus, (2.2.1 ), Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' (57 ).〕 Aleus succeeded his father as king of Tegea in Arcadia, and when Aepytus died, Aleus became king of all Arcadia, with Tegea as his capital.〔Pausanias, (8.4.3 ), (8.4.5 ), (8.4.7–8 ).〕 He was said to have been the eponymous founder of the city of Alea.〔Pausanias, (8.23.1 ).〕 From Aleus also comes, presumably, the epithet Athena Alea, whose temple at Tegea, he was said to have built.〔Pausanias, (8.4.8 ), (8.45.4 ).〕 According to various accounts Aleus had three sons, Lycurgus, the Argonauts Amphidamas and Cepheus, and two daughters, Auge, and Alcidice, by either Neaera the daughter of Pereus, or Cleobule.〔Pausanias, (8.4.8 ), Apollodorus, (3.9.1–2 ), Apollonius Rhodius, ''Argonautica'' (1.161–171 ), Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' (14 ) and Diodorus Siculus, (4.68.1 ). Of the sources given here, only Diodorus Siculus mentions Alcidice. Pausanias, gives no mother. Apollodorus names Neaera the daughter of Pereus as mother (but compare with Pausanias, (8.4.6 ) which says that Neaera married Autolycus), and has Amphidamas as a son of Lycurgus. Hyginus says that Cleobule was the mother of the Argonauts Amphidamas and Cepheus.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aleus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
