The king of the city of Eleusis who unwittingly took the goddess, Demeter, into his home to be a nurse for his son, Demophoon.
Keleos and his wife, Metaneira, did not recognize Demeter because she was disguised as an old woman; when Metaneira caught Demeter placing Demophoon into the fireplace to make him immortal, Demeter revealed her true identity and promised to make Eleusis the site of her most sacred temple.

The Ethiopian king; the husband of Kassiopeia (Cassiopeia) and father of Andromeda.
His homeland was nearly destroyed when his wife, Kassiopeia, offended the Nereids by saying that her daughter was more lovely than the Nereids; the Nereids were insulted by such immodest boasting and prevailed on Poseidon (lord of the Sea) to send one of his ketos, i.e. sea monsters, to lay waste to Ethiopia; when Kassiopeia and Kepheus consulted an oracle they were told that if Andromeda was sacrificed to the Immortals the devastation could be averted; with no other alternatives, Kassiopeia and Kepheus prepared to sacrifice Andromeda and save their land from certain destruction; at this opportune time, Perseus was returning from his battle with the Gorgons and had the severed head of Medusa in his kibisis; he confronted the ketos and, with the magical powers instilled in the head of Medusa, turned the beast to stone and saved Andromeda.

See Cera by itself with citation tips (best for bookmarking).
An offspring of the monster Ekhidna (Echidna) and the snake-bodied Typhaon; he was the ferocious watchdog of the Underworld and was said to have fifty heads, a dragon tail and snakes writhing from his body; the artistic and written descriptions of Kerberos differ as to the number of heads but the common theme is constant in that he was a beast of untamed savagery who only obeyed the voice of Hades (lord of the Dead) or his bride, Persephone.
Kerberos stands at the gates of the House of Hades and fawns on the dead as they enter but will savagely eat anyone trying to pass back through the gates and return to the land of the living.
To complete his Twelfth Labor, Herakles (Heracles) was required to descend into the Underworld and bring Kerberos to the surface; Herakles descended into the Underworld and confronted his uncle, Hades. Either through consideration for Herakles or intimidation by Zeus’ wrath, Hades agreed to let Herakles temporarily take Kerberos into the sunlight on the condition that no weapons be used to subdue the beastly hound; when Herakles presented Kerberos to his cousin and taskmaster, Eurystheus, he hid in a giant urn in the ground.
His name may also be rendered as Kerberos or Cerberus.

The Kerkopes were two Monkey-Men named Passalus and Akmon (Acmon).
As Herakles (Heracles) was sleeping under a tree, the two mischievous characters stole his bow; Herakles caught the barbaric looking brothers and tied them upside-down to a pole which he carried over his shoulder; the Kerkopes were not only unrepentant but highly amused by their plight and, as they dangled behind Herakles, they began making disparaging comments about Herakles’ hairy posterior; Herakles, who was so accustomed to sorrow and brutality, couldn’t resist the infectious good humor of the Kerkopes and set them free.
Herakles’ encounter with the Kerkopes was a popular artistic theme beginning in the early sixth century BCE and continuing well into the fourth century; the story was popular from mainland Greece to the island of Sicily.
This story is one of the fragmentary remains of the Epic Cycle; for the complete translations of the Epic Cycle I recommend the Loeb Classical Library volume 57, ISBN 0674990633; you can sometimes find this book at the library or you can order it from the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.

The hind, i.e. female deer, was portrayed with golden horns which is indicative of a male deer; it was sacred to Artemis and was named after a Peloponnesian river; Herakles spent a year searching for the elusive deer before he was able to capture it.
While returning the hind to his cousin, Eurystheus, Herakles encountered Apollon and Artemis; they demanded the return of the sacred creature but Herakles successfully argued the justice of his quest and was allowed to complete his Labor.

One of the Thirty Tyrants elected to rule the city of Athens after the end of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE).
Having lost the war to the Spartans, the citizens of Athens elected thirty men to lead the new post-war government; these men became known as the Thirty Tyrants; the short lived government they comprised was an oligarchy.
The tyrants immediately began to prosecute Athenians who had been Spartan informers and collaborators during the long, hard war; the punishment of the guilty seemed appropriate to the common citizens and aristocrats alike but it soon became clear that the executions and banishments were going beyond the bounds of necessity or prudence; open hostilities soon developed between members of the Thirty and their authority and rule came to an end after one year.

The daughter of the king and queen of Kolkhis (Colchis), Aietes (Aeetes) and Eidyia; the sister of the sorceress, Medea, and half-sister of Apsyrto.
When the fugitive, Phrixus, came to Kolkhis on the flying ram with the Golden Fleece, Aietes gave him sanctuary and allowed him to marry Khalkiope “without gifts of wooing”; at the magical ram’s request, its body was sacrificed and its Golden Fleece was placed in the Garden of Ares at Kolkhis.
Years later, after Phrixus had died of old age, the four sons of Khalkiope and Phrixus (Argus, Kytissoros (Cytissoros), Phrontis, and Melas) set out on a quest to avenge their father’s unjust expulsion from his home in Orkhomenos (Orchomenos); they had not traveled far from Kolkhis when they became shipwrecked on the Island of Ares and were rescued by the Argonauts, who were on their way to Kolkhis to retrieve the Golden Fleece.
When king Aietes found out why the Argonauts had come to his remote kingdom, he became furious and blamed Khalkiope’s sons for bringing the strangers to his shores; Khalkiope begged her sister, Medea, to help the Argonauts and divert the king’s anger from her sons; Khalkiope swore a great oath to return from the Underworld as an avenging Fury if her father harmed her sons; Medea was distressed at her sister’s plight and, under the influence of Eros (god of Love), used her magical powers to assist Iason (Jason) and the Argonauts to take the Golden Fleece and flee Kolkhis; after Medea fled Kolkhis in disgrace and her half-brother, Apsyrtos, was killed in pursuit of the Argonauts, Khalkiope was Aietes’ only child who stayed with him in Kolkhis.

A tragedy by Euripides written circa 429 BCE; also called The Heracleidae.
The play revolves around Herakles’ nephew and companion, Iolaos, as he attempts to safeguard the children of the deceased Herakles; the despicable Eurystheus, who is better known as the man who thrust the Twelve Labors upon Herakles, has pursued the elderly Iolaos and the children from city to city in order to return them to Mykenai (Mycenae) and put them to death; he has found them at the temple of Zeus at Marathon.
The king of the city of Athens, Demophon, refuses to surrender the supplicants to Eurystheus’ herald and knows that by doing so he has guaranteed that Eurystheus will attack Athens and try to take the children by force; Demophon assembles the army, prepares the alters with sacrificial animals and consults the oracles, past and present, as to how best defend the city; the oracles give Demophon the sad news that if the city is to be victorious against the army of Eurystheus, the daughter of a noble family must be sacrificed to the goddess, Demeter; Demophon will not order one of his subjects to sacrifice one of their daughters and is at a loss as to what to do; if he turns Iolaos and the children away he will offend Zeus and if he fights Eurystheus without a sacrifice to Demeter he will lose the fight and the citizens of Athens will become slaves.
Iolaos bravely volunteers to surrender himself to Eurystheus but it’s obvious that Eurystheus does not want an old man, he wants the children of Herakles; Makaria (Macaria), Herakles’ daughter offers herself as the victim of the sacrifice; her speech is bold and noble and, while she’s speaking, you secretly hope that another solution can be found so that such a selfless and gallant young woman can escape death and simply live and be happy; in order to think that you have to ignore the fact that this play is a tragedy.
I won’t reveal the conclusion of the story in hopes that you will take the time to read this wonderful tale from a time and moral pinnacle long past.
I personally recommend the translations compiled by Richmond Lattimore and David Grene; you can find this and other plays by Euripides in the 882 section of your local library or you can order them from the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.

A Greek island in the Aegean Sea near the central-western coast of Asia Minor; approximately 350 square miles (907 square kilometers) in size.
In regards to the island of Khios, the historian, Herodotus mentioned a curious event that might give us a glimpse into his way of perceiving the world; Herodotus claims that the terrible defeat the Khians suffered at the hands of the Persians after the Ionian Revolt should have been expected because two divinely directed catastrophes had befallen the islanders prior to the Persian invasion; the first was the death of 98 out of 100 Khian youths who had gone to Delphi and died of a mysterious disease; the second was the collapse of a school roof on Khios which killed 119 out of 120 of the school’s children; Herodotus said that these events were ’signs’ and that they ’somehow’ gave advance warning of the great evils that were to befall the Khians.

A wise and beneficent Centaur (half-horse/half-man); the son of Kronos (Cronos) and Philyra.
Rheia (Rhea) caught Kronos when he was with Philyra and, to escape detection, Kronos took the guise of a horse and thus Kheiron was conceived as a Centaur; he was the teacher of Akhilleus (Achilles), Asklepios (Asclepius) and Iason (Jason).
At the marriage between Thetis and Peleus, Kheiron presented the newlyweds with an ashen spear which he had fashioned from wood cut from Mount Pelion; the spear was polished by the goddess, Athene (Athena), and, as a finishing touch, Hephaistos (Hephaestus) fitted it with a head; eventually the spear was used by Akhilleus (Achilles) during the siege of the city of Troy.
Although he was immortal, when he was accidentally wounded by Herakles (Heracles), during his Forth Labor (Capturing the Boar of Mount Erymanthus), he surrendered his immortality and died.
His name may also be rendered as Kheiron or Cheiron.

The daughter of the priest of Apollon, Khryses (Chryses); she and another girl, Briseis, were captured by the Greeks during the ninth year of the siege of Troy and were the basis for the bitter dispute between Agamemnon and Akhilleus (Achilles).
The girls were taken as slaves during raiding parties that the Greeks regularly conducted to supply their army with food and slaves; Khryseis was the “prize” of Agamemnon and Briseis was the “prize” of Akhilleus; when Khryseis’ father appealed to Agamemnon and offered a ransom for the return of his daughter, he was treated shamelessly, threatened and sent away; Khryses prayed to Apollon for revenge and his prayers were answered; Apollon rained arrows on the Greek army until Agamemnon relented and returned Khryseis to her father.
Now that Agamemnon was deprived of his prize he took the girl, Briseis, away from Akhilleus; Akhilleus was quick to anger and many harsh words were exchanged; the feud between Akhilleus and Agamemnon nearly cost the Greeks their victory over the Trojans.

The priest of Apollon whose daughter, Khryseis (Chryseis), was taken captive by the Greek army during the ninth year of their siege of Troy.
The Greeks would regularly raid nearby cities and bring back provisions and slaves; the girl, Khryseis, was taken as a slave on one such raid and Agamemnon kept her as his “prize;” when Khryses went to Agamemnon and begged for the return of his daughter, he was treated shamelessly and sent away with reproach; Khryses prayed to Apollon and asked the god to punish the Greeks for their uncivilized behavior.
To be clear about this: it was NOT uncivilized to plunder and take slaves but it WAS uncivilized to refuse the supplications of a father for the return of his daughter.
Khryses’ prayers were answered; Apollon stood off-shore and rained arrows on the Greek army killing men and livestock; on the advice of the seer, Kalkhas (Calchas), young Khryseis was returned to her father and the Greeks humbled themselves before Apollon and begged forgiveness.
