Pleisthenes
In Greek mythology, Pleisthenes (Ancient Greek: Πλεισθένης) is the name of several different people descended from Tantalus.
- Pleisthenes, son of Pelops (son of Tantalus), and of Hippodamia, rulers of Pisa.[1] Two of his brothers are Atreus, and Thyestes.
- Pleisthenes, son of Atreus and Aerope.[2]
- Pleisthenes is the name of an illegitimate son of Thyestes and Aerope. He and his brother Tantalus were killed by Atreus (Aerope's husband) and fed to their father, Thyestes, in revenge for the death of Pleisthenes (son of Atreus).[3]
- Pleisthenes is the name of the youngest son of Menelaus and Helen.[4] Helen took young Pleisthenes with her when she went to Troy with Paris, and the boy is not mentioned in any stories after that.
