	Perdiccas I Perdiccas I (; ) was king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon. By allowing thirty years for the span of an average generation from the beginning of Archelaus' reign in 413 BC, British historian Nicholas Hammond estimated that Perdiccas ruled around 653 BC. There are two separate historical traditions describing the foundation of the Argead dynasty. The earlier, documented by Herodotus and Thucydides in the fifth century BC, records Perdiccas as the first king of Macedonia. The later tradition first emerged sometime at the beginning of the fourth century BC and claimed that Caranus, rather than Perdiccas, was the founder.Greenwalt, William (1985).The Introduction of Caranus into the Argead King List. ''Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies''. 26 (1): 43–49. Aside from Satyrus, who adds Coenus and Tyrimmas to the list, Marsyas of Pella, Theopompos, and Justin all agree that Caranus was Perdiccas' father.Sprawski, Sławomir (2010).

	Aeropus II Of Macedon Aeropus II (), son of Perdiccas II, was king of Macedonia from 398/7 until his death from illness in July or August of 394/3 BC.Roisman, Joseph (2010). "Classical Macedonia to Perdiccas III". In Roisman, Joseph; Worthington, Ian (eds.). ''A Companion to Ancient Macedonia''. Wiley-Blackwell. p. 158. He first governed as guardian (''epitropos'') for his young nephew Orestes when Archelaus died in 400/399 BC. However, Diodorus reports that Aeropus murdered Orestes three years later, but it is also possible that he had simply won the support of the Macedonian nobility. As king, he might have taken the name Archelaus. Aeropus had a son named Pausanias, but was succeeded instead by Amyntas II, possibly son of his great-uncle Menelaus.Hammond, N.G.L. (1979). ''A History of Macedonia Volume II: 550-336 B.C''. Oxford: Clarendon Press. p. 170. Two traditions relate how Aeropus was overawed by either the insolence. Repeated in .

	Cepheus, King Of Tegea 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. He was perhaps the same Cepheus who, according to the mythographer Apollodorus, participated in the Calydonian boar hunt. 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. According to Apollodorus, Aleus had, by Neaera the daughter of Pereus, a daughter Auge and two sons Cepheus and Lycurgus. While according to the mythographer Hyginus, Cepheus (the Argonaut) was the son of Aleus and Cleobule. A different tradition perhaps made Cepheus a son of Lycurgus rather than Aleus. In addition, the Argonaut Amphidamas was said to be another brother of Chepheus and son of Aleus, while according to the geographer Paus ...

	Botres In Greek mythology, Botres (Ancient Greek: Βότρης) was a Theban son of Eumelus and grandson of Eugnotus. Mythology Eumelus venerated the god Apollo devotedly and honored him with generous offerings. One day, when Eumelus was sacrificing a ram to the god, Botres, who was helping around, tasted the victim's brain before the ritual was completed. Eumelus, enraged, hit Botres on the head with a brand and inflicted a fatal injury on him. As it became evident that Botres was dying, Eumelus, his wife and the servants were overcome with sorrow. Being that Eumelus was a devotee, Apollo took pity on them and changed Botres into a bird called ''Aeropus'' (bee-eater).
