Minyas was married to either Euryanassa, Euryale, Tritogeneia (daughter of Aeolus), Clytodora, or Phanosyra (daughter of Paeon). Clytodora is also given as the mother by Minyas of Orchomenus, Presbon, Athamas,[2] Diochthondas[8] and Eteoclymene.[9] Minyas' other children include Cyparissus, the founder of Anticyra,[10] and three daughters known as the Minyades who were turned into bats.[11][12][13] In some accounts, he was also said to be the father of Persephone who married Amphion and by him became the mother of Chloris, wife of Neleus.[14] Also, Elara, the mother of the giant Tityus was also described sometimes as Minyas' daughter.[15][16] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8334.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8334.txt
