According to legend, Oenopion was the son of the wine-god Dionysus and Ariadne, and the grandson of the Cretan king Minos. Oenopion and his brothers — Thoas, Staphylus, Tauropolus, Latramys and Euanthes — were regarded as the founders of the Hellenic tribes in the Aegean islands. Oenopion became a legendary king of Chios and a hero of that island, which is situated in the eastern Aegean just a few kilometers away of the coast of Asia Minor.

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.
