Electryon

Electryon was a Greek mortal.

Mythology
Electryon was a king of Tiryns and Mycenae. At some point, the six sons of Pterelaus came to Mycenae to claim a portion of the kingdom due to their relationship as being related to Electryon through his brother Mestor. Electryon denied their request so they drove off his cattle. Electryon's sons fought against the sons of Pterelaus and all but two died, Licymnius, a son of Electryon, and Everes, a descendant of Mestor.

Everes sold the cattle of Polyxenus of Elis. Amphitryon then bought the cattle and returned them to Electryon, his uncle, and then married his cousin, Alcmene. While the cattle was in his possession, Amphitryon accidentally killed one of the cows. Sthenelus, a brother of Electryon, took the throne of Mycenae, charged Amphitryon with murder, and exiled him.
