Mestor
In Greek mythology, Mestor/ˈmɛstər/; (Μήστωρ) was the name of four men.
- Mestor, son of Perseus and Andromeda. He was brother of Perses, Alcaeus, Heleus, Sthenelus, Electryon, Cynurus, Gorgophone and Autochthe. By Lysidice, daughter of Pelops, he was father of Hippothoe.[1]
- Mestor, a son of King Priam. Apart from a single mention in the Iliad, where he is praised by his father,[2] he appears in the Bibliotheca[3] and Hyginus.[4] He was taken captive by Neoptolemus, who later dressed up in Mestor's Phrygian clothes to deceive Acastus.[5]
- Mestor, a son of king Pterelaus,[1][6] thus great-great-grandson of #1.
- In Plato's Critias, Mestor was the second of the fourth set of twins borne of Poseidon and the mortal, Cleito, and one of the first princes of Atlantis.[7]
