Pheres married Periclymene , daughter of Minyas ,[3] Admetus ,[4] Lycurgus ,[5] Eidomene (wife of Amythaon ),[6] Periopis (possible mother of Patroclus )[7] Antigona (mother of Asterius ).[3] Admetus was the husband of the famous Alcestis , who died in his stead and was rescued by Heracles , while Pheres, despite his old age, would not do the same for his son.[8]
Mythology [ edit ]
In Aeschylus ' Eumenides Erinyes of Clytemnestra . The Erinyes were the avengers for the mother-blood Orestes spilled by ordering of Apollo . The Chorus leader argues with Apollo over the just sentence Athena and her panel of judges are about to speak.
Chorus Leader:
You honor bloody crimes that aren't your business. Your oracles will never now be pure.
Apollo:
So Zeus made a mistake when Ixion , the first to kill, appealed to him for help?
Chorus Leader:
You said it, I didn't. But if I don't get justice, I will come back to crush this land forever.
Apollo:
How so? You have no honor among the gods, young or old. I will win this case.
Chorus Leader:
You did the same thing too, in Pheres' house: you persuaded the Fates to let men hide from death.
Apollo:
Is it unjust to treat someone so kindly, someone so pious, in his time of need?'[9]
