3 Others

3.1 Place of Residence

Cletor was called the river god Achelaus, and is thought to have lived near the river Achelaus.

The Achelaus was not the famous river that borders Acarnania and Aetolia.

That is, the Achelaus that flows through a land called Paracheloitae near Lamia in southern Thessaly and joins the Spercheius River.

Since the Myrmidons, named after Cletor's grandson Myrmidon, lived in Phthia, it is thought that Cletor's place of residence was Paracheloitae.

3.2 Ancestors

During Cletor's time, the Dryopians lived near the Spercheius River.

Dryops, the eponym of the Dryopians, was the son of Polydore, the daughter of Danaus.

Iphitus, the son of Sthenelus, the son of Perseus, the son of Danae, the daughter of Acrisius, the son of Abas, the son of Hypermnestra, the daughter of Danaus, appears in the story of the Argonauts' expedition.

In other words, Dryops is the fifth generation from the Argonauts' generation.

Cletor was the father of Eurymedusa, the mother of Myrmidon, the father of Aeacus, the father of Actor, the father of Telamon who appears in the story of the Argonauts' expedition.

In other words, Cletor is also the fifth generation from the Argonauts' generation.

Therefore, it is assumed that Cletor is the brother of Dryops and migrated from the land of the Dryopians to Paracheloitae near the Achelaus River.
