< Ctimenus, son of Actor >

1 Origin

Ctimenus was born in Phthia in Thessaly in 1304 BC.

Ctimenus' son Eurydamas lived in Ctimene in Dolopia, west of Phthia.

The following facts indicate that Ctimenus' father was Actor, the son of Myrmidon.

1) Part of Phthia

Phoenix, the son of Amyntor, was given Dolopia by Peleus of Phthia.

In other words, Dolopia was part of Phthia during the time of Eurydamas, the son of Ctimenus.

Ctimenus is presumed to have been from Phthia.

2) Generational agreement

Eurydamas, the son of Ctimenus, appears in the story of the expedition of the Argonauts.

Peleus, the son of Aeacus, also appears in the story of the expedition of the Argonauts.

That is, Ctimenus was of the same generation as Aeacus, and Ctimenus' father was of the same generation as Aeacus' father, Actor.

3) Irus, son of Actor

Ctimenus, the father of Eurytion, was also called Irus.

Irus was the son of Actor.

2 Family

Ctimenus and Demonass had two sons, Eurydamas and Eurytion.

3 Others

In 1275 BC, Ctimenus moved from Phthia to Dolopia near Lake Xynian and founded Ctimene.
