Perieres

In Greek mythology, Perieres was a son of Aeolus and husband of Gorgophone. He was the father of Leucippus and Aphareus.

He is often confused with Gorgophone's second husband, Oebalus (who was, in some stories, Perieres' son). With Oebalus, Gorgophone was the mother of Tyndareus, Hippocoon and Icarius.
