In
Greek mythology,
Sidero (Σιδηρώ "the Iron One") was the second wife of
Salmoneus and stepmother of the twins
Pelias and
Neleus. She mistreated the twins' mother
Tyro horribly, incurring their wrath when they reached adulthood. Although Sidero fled from them into
Hera's district, Pelias nevertheless murdered her atop the altar to Hera.
