Heroes
Moliones - Actoriones
Cteatus and Eurytus were called Moliones and Actoriones because they were the sons of Molione and Actor (Od. 11.709 & 750). They were slain by Heracles, because they were rivals in the war against Augeas (Paus. 2,15,1).

Molionidae, (Molionidai) and Moliones.
Eurytus and Cteatus, the sons of Actor (whence they were also called Actoridae),
or else of Poseidon and Molione. (Homer [ Il.xi. 750] calls them by the dual and
double name Actorione Molione.) As boys they fought against Nestor and the men
of Pylos. When they had grown up, they defeated the army of Heracles that threatened
their uncle Augeas, but were killed by the former near Cleonae in Argolis. In
Homer their sons Thalpius and Antimachus are the chieftains of the Epeians before
Troy. A later legend describes them as having only one body but two heads. This text is from: Harry Thurston Peck, Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities. Cited Nov 2002 from The Perseus Project URL below, which contains interesting hyperlinks
