Sciron

In Greek mythology, Sciron, also Sceiron, Skeirôn and Scyron, (; gen.: Σκίρωνoς) was one of the malefactors killed by Theseus on the way from Troezen to Athens. He was a famous Corinthian bandit who haunted the frontier between Attica and Megaris. Family Sciron was the son of either Pelops and possibly Hippodameia, or Poseidon and Iphimedeia. Other sources makes his parents as Canethus and Henioche, a daughter of Pittheus which made him a cousin of Theseus. Sciron was also called the son of Pylas, king of Megara and thus great-grandson of Lelex. Sciron was the father of Endeis by the daughter of Pandion or Chariclo, daughter of Cychreus. Through his daughter Endeis, Sciron was thus the grandfather of the heroes Telamon and Peleus. A son of Sciron named Alycus, in the army of the Dioscuri was also said to be slain by Theseus when the latter kidnapped the young Helen. Mythology
