< Elara, son of Orchomenus >

1 Origin

Elara (or Elare) was born in Orchomenus, Boeotia, in 1310 BC.

Elara's father was Orchomenus, son of Minyas. [Apo.1.4.1]

2 Family

Elara had a son, Tityus (or Tityos). [FGrH.333.55, Home.Od.11.576, Strabo.9.3.14, Apo.1.4.1]

Tityus' father was Crius, son of Lynceus, and it is assumed that Elara's husband was Crius. [See Crius]

3 Others

At the time of Elara's marriage to Crius, Crius lived in Euboea.

It is assumed that Crius emigrated to Euboea from Abae in Phocis with his brother Abas. [See Crius]

Orchomenus was near Abae.

In other words, it is assumed that Crius had contact with Orchomenus from the time he lived in Abae.
