1 Origin

In 1150 BC, Chaeron was born in Munychia of Athens.

Chaeron's mother was Thero (or Thuro).

2 Others

Chaeron founded Chaeroneia in Boeotia.

The inhabitants of Chaeroneia were Orchomenians.

From this, it can be inferred that.

During the Trojan War, Iolais, the father of Leipephilene, mother of Thero, mother of Chaeron, lived in Orchomenus, but was driven out by the Thracians and fled to Munychia in Athens.

Leipephilene married Phylas, who lived in Alopece, and had a daughter, Thero.

In 1126 BC, the Orchomenians, who had fled to Munychia with the Boeotians returning from Arne in Thessaly, recaptured Orchomenus, which had been occupied by the Thracians.

Chaeron led a group of Orchomenians who migrated to Arne after the Boeotians had left and founded Chaeroneia.
