Peteus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Peteus or Peteos (Ancient Greek: Πετεώς) or Petes (Πέτης) was a member of the Athenian royal family as the son of Orneus,[1] son of King Erechtheus.[2] In some versions of the myth, Petes was originally an Egyptian, who later obtained Athenian citizenship.

By Polyxene or Mnesimache,[3] Peteos became the father of Menestheus,[4] successor of Theseus.[1]
