Cretheus

(Κρηθεύς), a son of Aeolus and Enarete, was married to Tyro, the daughter of Salmoneus, by whom he became the father of Aeson, Pheres, Amythaon, and Hippolyte. He is called the founder of the town of Iolcus. (Hom. Od. 11.236, 258; Apollod. 1.9.11; comp. Paus. 8.25.5.) According to another tradition, Cretheus was married to Demodice or Biadice, who loved Phrixus, and as her love was rejected by the latter, she calumniously accused him to Cretheus of having been guilty of improper conduct. (Hygin. Poet. Ast. 2.20; Phrixus.) [L.S]
