- Endeïs
Endeis in
Greek mythology was the wife ofAeacus and mother ofTelamon andPeleus . Endeis was the daughter of either theCentaur Chiron and thenymph Chariclo, or ofSciron of Megara. In the latter case her mother was eitherChariclo or a daughter ofPandion ofAthens . Endeis hated her stepsonPhocus (Aeacus' son by theNereid Psamathe ) and wished he were dead. It is also thought that Telamon and Peleus were jealous of Phocus because he excelled at athletic sports. In either case they drew lots and Telamon was chosen to murder Phocus, his half brother. This was done in a ruse at thepentathlon which they convinced Phocus to participate in. In the sport Telamon threw a discus that was a large stone. It was thrown to look like part of the competition and just an accident, however Teleamon intentionally threw it at Phocus. The projectile hit its target, killing Phocus. Both Telamon and Peleus hid the body of Phocus, but it was soon discovered. For this Aeacus exiled them both from Aegina.
