The wife of Kresphontes (Cresphontes) who, with her son Aepytus, killed Polyphontes and recovered the throne of Messenia.
Both Polyphontes and Kresphontes were the sons of Herakles (Heracles); Polyphontes murdered Kresphontes to become the king of Messenia and married Merope to prove his domination; Aepytus was saved from Polyphontes’ murderous plots when Merope helped him flee the country; when Aepytus returned to Messenia, he and Merope took their revenge by killing Polyphontes and thus reclaiming the throne.
