< Pyrgo, daughter of Sciron >

1 Origin

Pyrgo was born in Megara in 1303 BC.

1.1 Pyrgo's parents

The tomb of Pyrgo, the first wife of Alcathous, son of Pelops, was in Megara. [Paus.1.43.4]

After Nisus, son of Pandion, was killed in battle against Minos, Alcathous inherited Megara. [Paus.1.41.3]

From the above, it is assumed that Pyrgo's father was Sciron, son of Pylas, son of Cleson, who once competed with Nisus for the kingship. [Paus.1.39.6]

Therefore, it is assumed that Pyrgo's mother was a daughter of Pandion. [Paus.1.39.6]
