About Salmoneus, King of Eleia

In Greek mythology, Salmoneus (Greek: Σαλμωνεύς) was the son of Aeolus and Enarete, the brother of Athamas, Sisyphus and the father of Tyro. Salmoneus became King of Elis and founded the city of Salmaneo. He committed the sin of hubris by forcing his subjects to worship him as Zeus (Jupiter), and was eventually struck down by a thunderbolt sent by Jupiter himself. He was then imprisoned in Tartarus.

Alcidice (Gr. Ἀλκιδίκη) was in Greek mythology the daughter of Aleus, king of Arcadia.She married Salmoneus, king of Elis and bore a daughter, Tyro. After her death Salmoneus married Sidero.
