king of Iolcus in See also:Thessaly, to whom she See also:bore Aeson, Pheres and Amythaon, Pelias was by some thought to be
the son of Cretheus. He and his twin-brother See also:Neleus were exposed by their See also:mother, but were nurtured by a herdsman. When grown to manhood they were acknowledged by their mother. After the See also:death of Cretheus, Pelias made himself See also:master of the See also:kingdom of Iolous, having previously quarrelled with Neleus, who removed to See also:Messenia, where he founded See also:Pylos.

order to rid himself of See also:Jason, Pelias sent him to See also:Colchis in quest of the See also:golden fleece, and took See also:advantage of his See also:absence to put to death his father, Aeson, his mother and brother. When Jason returned he sought to avenge the death of his parents, and See also:Medea persuaded the daughters of Pelias to cut in pieces and See also:boil their father, assuring them that he would thus be restored to youth. See also:Acastus, son of Pelias, drove out Jason and Medea and celebrated funeral See also:games in See also:honour of his father, which were celebrated by the poet See also:Stesichorus and represented on the See also:chest of Cypselus. The death of Pelias was the subject of See also:Sophocles' Rhizotnmoi (See also:Root-cutters), and in the Tyro he treated another portion of the legend. Peliades (the daughters of Pelias) was the name of See also:Euripides' first See also:play.
