Αθηνά & Ποσειδών
During his (Althepus) reign, they say, Athena and Poseidon disputed about the land, and after disputing held it in common, as Zeus commanded them to do. For this reason they worship both Athena, whom they name both Polias (Urban) and Sthenias (Strong), and also Poseidon, under the surname of King. And moreover their old coins have as device a trident and a face of Athena. (Paus.2.30.6)

Persephone Auxesia
Auxesia, the goddess who grants growth and prosperity to the fields, a surname
of Persephone. According to a Troezenian legend, there came once during an insurrection
at Troezen two Cretan maidens, Auxesia and Damia, who was probably Demeter, and
who, in our editions of Pausanias, is called Lamia (perhaps only an incorrect
reading for Damia). During the tumult, the two maidens were stoned to death, whereupon
the Troezenians paid divine honours to them, and instituted the festival of the
Lithobolia (Paus. ii. 32.3). According to an Epidaurian and Aeginetan tradition,
the country of Epidaurus was visited by a season of scarcity, and the Delphic
oracle advised the Epidaurians to erect statues of Auxesia and Damia, which were
to be made of olive-wood. The Epidaurians therefore asked permission of the Athenians
to cut down an Attic olive-tree. The request was granted, on condition that the
Epidaurians should every year offer up sacrifices to Athena Agraulos and Erechtheus.
When the condition was complied with, the country of Epidaurus again bore fruit
as before. Now when about B. C. 540 Aegina separated itself from Epidaurus, which
had till then been regarded as its metropolis, the Aeginetans, who had had their
sacra in common with the Epidaurians, took away the two statues of Auxesia and
Damia, and erected them in a part of their own island called Oea, where they offered
sacrifices and celebrated mysteries. When the Epidaurians, in consequence of this,
ceased to perform the sacrifices at Athens, and the Athenians heard of the statues
being carried to Aegina, they demanded their surrender of the Aeginetans. The
islanders refused, and the Athenians threw ropes round the sacred statues, to
drag them away by force. But thunder and earthquakes ensued, and the Athenians
engaged in the work were seized with madness, in which they killed one another.
Only one of them escaped to carry back to Athens the sad tidings. The Aeginetans
added to this legend, that the statues, while the Athenians were dragging them
down, fell upon their knees, and that they remained in this attitude ever after
(Herod. v. 82-86; Paus. ii. 30.5; Hom. Hymn. in Cer. 122)

Hippolytus (Hippolutos). The Joseph of classical literature,
a son of Theseus and Hippolyte, or, according to others, of Theseus and Antiope.
Theseus, after the death of his first wife, married Phaedra, the daughter of Minos
and sister of Ariadne. This princess was seized with a criminal affection for
the son of the Amazon, an affection produced by the wrath of Aphrodite against
Hippolytus for neglecting her divinity and for devoting himself solely to the
service of Artemis; or else against Phaedra as the daughter of Pasiphae. During
the absence of Theseus, the queen made advances to her step-son, which were indignantly
rejected. Filled with fear and hate, on the return of her husband she accused
Hippolytus of an attempt on her honour. Without giving the youth an opportunity
of clearing himself, the monarch, calling to mind that Poseidon had promised him
the accomplishment of any three wishes that he might form, cursed and implored
destruction on his son from the god. As Hippolytus, leaving Troezen, was driving
his chariot along the seashore, a monster, sent by Poseidon from the deep, terrified
his horses; they burst away in fury, heedless of their driver, dashed the chariot
to pieces, and dragged along Hippolytus, entangled in the reins, until he died.
Phaedra ended her days by her own hand; and Theseus, when too late, learned the
innocence of his son. Euripides has founded his tragedy, Hippolytus, on this subject,
but the legend assumes a somewhat different shape with him. According to the plot
of his play, Phaedra hangs herself in despair when she finds that she is slighted
by her step-son, and Theseus, on his return from his travels, finds, when taking
down her corpse, a writing attached to it, in which Phaedra accused Hippolytus
of having attempted her honour. According to another legend, Aesculapius restored
Hippolytus to life, and Artemis transported him, under the name of Virbius, to
Italy, where he was worshipped in the grove of Aricia. The story of Hippolytus
forms the subject of a play by Euripides with that title, of a Latin tragedy by
Seneca, and the Phedre of Racine.

Φαίδρα: Κόρη του Μίνωα και της Πασιφάης και σύζυγος του Θησέα. Σύμφωνα με την αρχαία παράδοση ερωτεύτηκε τον Ιππόλυτο, το γιο του Θησέα από την Αντιόπη, ο οποίος όμως δεν ανταποκρίθηκε στον έρωτά της. Για να τον εκδικηθεί τον συκοφάντησε στο Θησέα λέγοντας ότι προσπάθησε να τη βιάσει, με αποτέλεσμα να σκοτωθεί ο Ιππόλυτος ενώ η Φαίδρα αυτοκτόνησε.

Phaedra (Phaidra). The daughter of Minos by Pasiphae or Crete,
and the wife of Theseus. She was the step-mother of Hippolytus, the son of Theseus,
with whom she fell in love; but having been repulsed by Hippolytus, she accused
him to Theseus of having attempted her dishonour. After the death of Hippolytus
his innocence became known to his father, and Phaedra made away with herself.
The story forms the subject of plays by Euripides (the Hippolytus), Seneca (the
Phaedra), and in French by Racine (the Phedre).

Orus
(Troezenians) They say that Orus was the first to be born in their land. Now, in my opinion, Orus is an Egyptian name and utterly un-Greek; but they assert that he became their king, and that the land was called Oraea after him and that Althepus, the son of Poseidon and of Leis, the daughter of Orus, inheriting the kingdom after Orus, named the land Althepia. (Paus. 2.30.5)

Althepus (Althepos), a son of Poseidon and Leis, a daughter of Orus, king of Troezen. The territory of Troezen was called after him Althepia. In his reign Pallas and Poseidon disputed the possession of the country with each Other (Paus. ii. 30. 6.)

Saron
Saron, a mythical king of Troezene, who built a sanctuary of Artemis Saronia on
the sea-coast. Once while chasing a stag into the sea he was drowned, and his
body, which was washed on shore in the grove of Artemis, was buried there, and
the gulf between Attica and Argolis was, from this circumstance, called the Saronic
Gulf (Paus. ii. 30.7). Near Troezene there was a little town called Saron (Steph.
Byz. s. v.), and Troezene itself is said at one time to have been called Saronia
(Eustath. ad Hom.)

After Althepus, Saron became king. They said that this man built the sanctuary
for Saronian Artemis by a sea which is marshy and shallow, so that for this reason
it was called the Phoebaean lagoon. Now Saron was very fond of hunting. As he
was chasing a doe, it so chanced that it dashed into the sea and he dashed in
alter it. The doe swam further and further from the shore, and Saron kept close
to his prey, until his ardor brought him to the open ocean. Here his strength
failed, and he was drowned in the waves. The body was cast ashore at the grove
of Artemis by the Phoebaean lagoon, and they buried it within the sacred enclosure,
and after him they named the sea in these parts the Saronic instead of the Phoebaean
lagoon. They know nothing of the later kings down to Hyperes and Anthas. (Paus. 2.30.7)

Υπέρης, Ανθας & Αέτιος, γιος του Ανθα
They (Troezenians) know nothing of the later (after Saros) kings down to Hyperes and Anthas. These they assert to be sons of Poseidon and of Alcyone, daughter of Atlas, adding that they founded in the country the cities of Hyperea and Anthea; Aetius, however, the son of Anthas, on inheriting the kingdoms of his father and of his uncle, named one of the cities Poseidonias. When Troezen and Pittheus came to Aetius there were three kings instead of one, but the sons of Pelops enjoyed the balance of power. Here is evidence of it. When Troezen died, Pittheus gathered the inhabitants together, incorporating both Hyperea and Anthea into the modern city, which he named Troezen after his brother. Many years afterwards the descendants of Aetius, son of Anthas, were dispatched as colonists from Troezen, and founded Halicarnassus and Myndus in Caria. Anaphlystus and Sphettus, sons of Troezen, migrated to Attica, and the parishes are named after them. (Paus. 2.30.8-9)
