Cepheus (father Of Andromeda)
In Greek mythology, Cepheus (; Ancient Greek: Κηφεύς ''Kepheús'') was the king of Aethiopia and the father of Andromeda, the princess who is saved by the hero Perseus. Family Cepheus was the son of either Belus, Agenor or Phoenix. When Belus is described as his father, Achiroe, daughter of Nilus, is given as his mother, and Danaus, Aegyptus, and Phineus as his brothers. He was called Iasid Cepheus, pertaining to his Argive ancestry through King Iasus of Argus, father of Io. Mythology Cepheus is prominently featured in the Perseus legend as the husband of Cassiopeia, father of Princess Andromeda, and brother of Phineus, who expects to marry Andromeda.

In Greek mythology, Cepheus (; Ancient Greek: Κηφεύς ''Kephéus'') was a king of Tegea in Arcadia. He was an Argonaut, and was, along with most of his twenty sons, killed in Heracles' war against Hippocoon, king of Sparta.

Family Cepheus was a member of the Arcadian royal family, the descendants of Pelasgos, the first king of Arcadia. He was usually said to be the son of Aleus, the king of Tegea in Arcadia.

Cepheus (poker Bot)
Cepheus is the first poker playing program that "essentially weakly solved" the game of heads-up limit Texas hold 'em. This was the first imperfect information game played competitively by humans to be essentially solved. It was developed by the Computer Poker Research Group (CPRG) at the University of Alberta and was introduced in January 2015 in a paper entitled "Heads-up limit hold’em poker is solved", published in ''Science'' by Michael Bowling, Neil Burch, Michael Johanson, and Oskari Tammelin. Cepheus' strategy is very close to a Nash equilibrium strategy for heads-up limit Texas hold'em, as an optimal counter-strategy to Cepheus can only win 0.000986 big blinds per game on expectation (to go from "essentially" solving the game to just "solving" the game, one has to reduce this expected loss to precisely 0 big blinds per game). However, 0.000986 big blinds per game on expectation means that even if someone played against Cepheus for a lifetime, this person will not be a ...
