Phineus

Phineus (Greek Фινεύς ), the son of the Phoenician king Agenor, the king was to Salmydessos in Thrace and was a seer. With his first wife Cleopatra, daughter of Boreas, he had two sons, Plexippus and Pandion.

His second wife, Idaia or Eidothea, a daughter of Dardanus, led him to hide his sons from his first marriage. For this he was tormented by the harpies who, as often as he sat him down to eat, the food wegraubten and the rest defiled, so that he was tormented by hunger steady. According to another version of Poseidon him this punishment was imposed because he had betrayed the way from Colchis to Greece the children of Phrixus.

When the Argonauts landed at Phineus, he was liberated by the brothers of Cleopatra, the Boreaden KALAIS and Zetes, from this plague, and in gratitude he showed them the path to take.
