In Greek mythology, Aloeus was the son of Poseidon and Canace, husband first of Iphimedia and later of Eeriboea, and father of Salmoneus (who founded Elis), Otus and Ephialtes, collectively known as the Aloadae. These giants made war on the gods and captured the god Ares in a jar. His wife Eeriboea reported to this to the gods, and Aloeus in anger had her flayed alive (according to the Scholiast on Homer's Iliad 12.543).
