Catreus was one of the sons of the King Minos of Crete and his wife Queen Pasiphae, and the brother of Acacallis, Androgeus, Ariadne, Glaucus and Phaedra. He is known mainly through his children: his daughters Aerope, Apemosyne, and Clymene (4), and his son Althaemenes, whom he all loved very much. But when an oracle predicted him that he would be killed by one of his children, he became suspicious and he ended the relation with them.
