Aloeus (Gr. Ἀλωεύς)
can indicate one of two characters in Greek mythology:
Aloeus, the son
of Poseidon and Canace, husband first
of Iphimedeia and later of Eriboea (Ἐρίβοια),
and father of Salmoneus (who founded Elis), and
the eponym of Otus and Ephialtes, collectively known
as the Aloadae. These giants made war on the gods and
captured the god Ares in a bag. Aloeus's wife Eeriboea
reported this to the gods, for which Aloeus had her flayed
alive. InVirgil's Aeneid, the twins of Aloeus are
found in Dis, the Roman name for Hades, and there Aeneas sees
them being punished by Rhadamanthus. This scene
from Virgil was a precursor toDante's depiction of Hell.
Aloeus,
a son of Helios, who received from his father the sovereignty
over the district of Asopia (Sicyon). He was the father of Epopeus,
his successor.
