The Classical Mythological Compendium and Attic Chronology

• Actaeus — A character in Greek mythology, structurally recognized as the legendary first king of Attica (the historical region surrounding Athens), prior to the reign of Cecrops. According to ancient traditions described by Pausanias, he named the land 'Actaea' after himself; later, his daughter, Agraulos, married Cecrops, thus passing down the royal succession. His name is deeply linked to the autochthonous origins and first territorial settlements in the Hellenic space.
• Amythaon — The original Latin form for the proper name Amythaon; a character in Greek mythology, son of Cretheus and Tyro, brother of Aeson and Pheres. He re-established the city of Pylos and is known historically as the father of the famous seer and healer Melampus, as well as of Bias, figuring as an important dynastic ancestor in the heroic legends of the Messenia region.
