From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In
Greek mythology, Pleuron[
pronunciation?] (
Ancient Greek: Πλευρῶνος) was a son of
Aetolus and
Pronoe, daughter of
Phorbus, and brother of
Calydon. He was married to
Xanthippe, daughter of
Dorus, by whom he became the father of
Agenor,
Sterope,
Stratonice, and
Laophonte.
[1] Pleuron was said to have founded the town of
Pleuron in
Aetolia (and apparently was its
eponym), but he had also a
heroon at Sparta, erected by his great-granddaughter, Queen
Leda.
