Perileos

Perilaos (Greek Περίλαος ) is a person of Greek mythology.

Perilaos in the Libraries of Apollodorus is a son of Ikarios and Periboea, the brother of Penelope, the wife of Odysseus later, as well as the Thoas, Imeusimos, Aletes and Damasippos. After a Scholion to Homer's Odyssey he is the son of Ikarios and Asterodeia, his siblings are here Amasichos, Phalereus, Thoon, Pheremmelias, Mede and Penelope.

Pausanias tells of a Peloponnesian myth, according to which he acts as prosecutor against Orestes before the Areopagus. Orestes killed his mother Clytemnestra and is then tormented by the Erinyes, before it is judged of him. Usually Tyndareos appears as accuser of Orestes, in this version of the myth but already died. Perilaos gets here as a cousin Clytemnestra the right to indictment.
