In
Greek mythology,
Aphareus , son of
Gorgophone and
Perieres, was the husband of Arene, daughter of
Oebalus, and father of
Lynceus,
Idas and Peisus, though some report that Idas' actual father was
Poseidon. Some call his wife Polydora or Laocoosa. The
patronymic Apharetidae, derived from the name of Aphareus, is sometimes used to refer to Idas and Lynceus collectively.
