Catreus

In biology, Catreus is a genus of pheasants. In Greek mythology, Catreus ("down-flowing") was a son of Minos and Pasiphaë. He had one son, Althaemenes, and three daughters, Apemosyne, Aerope and Clymene.An oracle told Catreus that one of his children would murder him. Terrified he would do so, Althaemenes took Apemosyne and left Crete for Rhodes. Catreus gave his other daughters to Nauplius to be sold off in foreign lands: Aerope married Pleisthenes, and Clymene married Nauplius himself. Years later, Catreus sailed the seas searching for his son, the heir to the throne. In the middle of the night, his ship stopped at Rhodes and was mistaken for a pirate ship. Althaemenes and others attacked the 'invaders', and the prophecy came to pass; Catreus died at the hands of his son, from a javelin blow.

[Greek] Catreus was one of the four sons of Minos and Pasiphae. In due time he became king of all Crete. One dark day, an oracle envisaged that Catreus would be slain by his son, Althaemenes. When the son learned of this, he left Crete for Rhodes with his younger sister, Apemosyne, by his side. As time passed, Catreus became despondent and traveled the seas in search of his children. His ship docked at Rhodes in the dead of night and they were mistaken for pirates by the defenders of Rhodes. In the battle that followed, Althaemenes drove his blade deep into his father's heart and the prophecy came to pass. Though the son never forgave himself for what he had done, to the people of Rhodes … he was their hero.
