Pleisthenes

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

In Greek mythology, Pleisthenes was either the son of Pelops, or Pelops' son Atreus (in which case he, rather than Atreus, was thought of the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus). His wife was either Aerope or Cleolla, daughter of Dias, another son of Pelops. Pleisthenes was also sometimes said to be the bastard son of Thyestes and Aerope and brother of Tantalus. Another Pleisthenes, a son of Atreus, was believed to have been killed by Thyestes.
