Aegeus had Meta as his first wife, then later on married Chalciope. He was considered to be sterile, which was due to the anger of Aphrodite. He sought advice from the Delphic oracle and was given the advice not to open a wine bottle until he reached the highest point of Athens. Aegeus sought assistance from Pittheus the King of Troezen, who understood the oracle's advice and made Aegeus drunk then left him with his daughter Aethra.

When Aegeus left he told Aethra not to tell the child who his father is if she became pregnant. He left his sword and sandals under a rock and told Aethra when the child was big enough to move the rock he would discover who is father is, the child is Theseus. Medea promised Aegeus that his sterility would end if he married her. After they had married Medea had a son with Aegeus called Medus. Theseus arrived in time to help Aegeus fight and defeat the sons of Pallas who tried to dethrone Aegeus. Aegeus was responsible for the death of Androgeos and as a consequence Minos invaded Attica, which led to Theseus' expedition against the Minotaur.

Theseus said the sails of his ship would be changed from black to white if he was victorious. Although Theseus was victorious he forgot to change the sails on his ship. Aegeus thought his son was dead and threw himself into the sea, hence the name Aegean Sea. The daughter of Adrastus, wife of Diomedes.

When Diomedes left to fight against Thebes and Troy, Aegialea was faithful to him for a long time but after a while her loyalty waned. She gained revenge by forcing Aegialea to be unfaithful. Nauplius made false claims that the husbands that were sent to fight at Troy would bring back concubines who would replace their wives. He made these claims in revenge for the stoning of his son Palamedes. When Aegialea's husband Diomedes returned he had to escape from traps that had been set by Aegialea and fled to Hesperia.

When the Dorians were driven out by the Lapiths, Aegimius asked Hercules for his assistance which ensured victory. Aegimius adopted Hercules's son Hyllus and gave him a share of the country that was divided equally between Hyllus and Aegimius' sons Dymas and Pamphylus. Daughter of the river god Asopus. Mother of Aeacus who was fathered by Zeus and mother of Menoetius who was fathered by Actor. She was abducted by Zeus and taken to an island near Attica.

Her father searched for her and discovered what happened from Sisyphus. Asopus gave Sisyphus the Spring of Pirene as a reward for his assistance, but Sisyphus paid for his treachery in the Underworld. When Asopus returned Zeus struck him with lightning and Asopus found lumps of coal in the river bed. Zeus took Aegina to the island of Oenone and their son Aeacus was born; the island was re-named Aegina.

She later travelled to Thessaly where she married Actor and gave birth to Menoetius. The son of Thyestes and his daughter Pelopia. Thyestes' sons were killed by his brother Atreus and Thyestes was also banished by Atreus. An oracle told Thyestes that he would have someone who would avenge what happened to him if he fathered a son with his daughter Pelopia. Thyestes raped Pelopia during the night; she managed to steal his sword and Thyestes disappeared after he raped her. Atreus married Pelopia without knowing she was Thyestes' daughter. After the marriage Pelopia gave birth to Aegisthus, the son she had conceived with her father, shortly after the birth she abandoned Aegisthus.

Atreus discovered Aegisthus when he saw him with the shepherds who had looked after him and fed him goats milk. When Aegisthus became a young man Atreus sent him to Delphi to capture Thyestes, bring him back and kill him. Aegisthus was wearing the sword Pelopia had stolen from Thyestes. When Thyestes had discovered what happened to his sword he begged Pelopia to tell Aegisthus he was his father and Pelopia was his mother; Pelopia then stabbed herself with the sword.

Aegisthus pulled out the sword, searched for Atreus and killed him. Aegisthus and his father Thyestes then jointly ruled at Mycenae.

After Danaus quarreled with Aegyptus he travelled to Argos; all fifty of Aegyptus' sons went to Argos to ask permission from Danaus to marry his daughters. Danaus gave his consent for the marriages, but he told his daughters to kill Aegyptus's sons. All of the sons were killed, except for Lynceus who was spared by Danaus's daughter Hypermestra. To avoid fighting his brother Danaus fled to Aroe.

When Aeneas was older he was considered to be one of the bravest Trojans. Aeneas was also injured by Diomedes; Aphrodite was also injured when she tried to save Aeneas.

Aeneas was among those who fought around Patroclus' body and fought with Achilles. Poseidon saved Aeneas by creating a mist to rise and carry Aeneas behind his own battle lines. After Hector died Aeneas took on his role to defend the city after the fall of Troy.

A cow fed the twins milk until some shepherds took them in. King Metapontus was unable to have a child with his wife Theano and he threatened to divorce her. She asked the shepherds to give the twins to her so she could pretend they were her own children in order to avoid the possibility of divorce. Theano convinced Metapontus they were their children, but she later gave birth to twins and she decided to get rid of Aeolus and Boeotus.

She told her sons about how she found Aeolus and Boeotus instead of giving birth to them, with the intention her sons would get rid of them. When all of the twins fought Poseidon intervened to help Aeolus and Boeotus kill Theano's sons. Poseidon then told them he was their father and told them who their mother was and that she was kept as a prisoner by her father.

With help from the sons of Aristodemus and Isthmius, Aepytus freed his mother and reigned over the country. The reputation Aepytus had for virtue and wisdom led to his descendants changing how they were referred to as the Heraclids to the Aepytidae.

Aepytus was an Arcadian who forced his entry into the temple of Posiedon at Mantinea, where Posiedon blinded Aepytus and killed him. The daughter of Catreus. An oracle told Catreus that one of his children would kill him, so he gave Aerope and her sister Clymene to Nauplius who took them to Argos.

Atreus kept his throne and punished Aerope by throwing her into the sea. Catreus Gave Aerope to Nauplius and told him to drown her because she had been seduced by a slave. Aerope married Pleisthenes the king of Argos. After Pleisthenes died Aerope married Atreus, the son of Pleisthenes. The son of Priam and Arisbe, grandson of Merops.

To free Aesacus from his grief Thetis turned Aesacus into a bird. Greek physician, god of the healing arts. Son of Apollo and Coronis. He had the ability to heal the sick and bring the dead back to life. Zeus was unhappy about Aesculapius' ability to bring the dead back into the realm of the living because he didn't want mortals to learn of this ability and become immortal, so Zeus killed Aesculapius with a thunderbolt.
