Mestor
In Greek mythology, Mestor (/ˈmɛstər/; Ancient Greek: Μήστωρ) was the name of four men.
- Mestor, was a Mycenaean prince. He was the son of Perseus and Andromeda and thus, brother of Perses, Alcaeus, Heleus, Sthenelus, Electryon, Cynurus, Gorgophone and Autochthe. By Lysidice, daughter of Hippodamia and Pelops, Mestor became the father of Hippothoe, who mothered Taphius by the god Poseidon.[1]
- Mestor, a son of King Priam. Apart from a single mention in the Iliad, where he is praised by his father,[2] he appears in the Bibliotheca[3] and Hyginus.[4] He was taken captive by Neoptolemus, who later dressed up in Mestor's Phrygian clothes to deceive Acastus.[5]
- Mestor, a son of king Pterelaus,[1][6] thus great-great-grandson of #1.
- In Plato's Critias, Mestor was the second of the fourth set of twins borne of Poseidon and the mortal, Cleito, and one of the first princes of Atlantis.[7]
