Perieres took possession of Messene and
married Gorgophone, daughter of Perseus, by whom he had sons, to wit, Aphareus and
Leucippus,1 and Tyndareus, and also Icarius. But many say that Perieres was not the son of Aeolus but of
Cynortas, son of Amyclas;2 so we shall narrate the history of the descendants of
Perieres in dealing with the family of Atlas.
