There is great
deal of controversy in the question of who actually fathered Pelius and Neleus. One account
illustrates Poseidon as the father. The story is described:
Unbeknownst to
anyone, Tyro- the daughter of Alcidice and Salmoneus, abandoned her two twins Pelias and Neleus
after they were born. Their alleged father, Poseidon, lay with her after having disguised
himself as the river where Tyro would chant her love for a river god whose name was
Enipeus. Supposedly, a horsetrainer found them, and saved their lives. Eventually, they found
their stepmother Sidero and killed her on holy ground.
