THYONI (Thyone), also known as Semili (Semele). Thyoni was the daughter of Kadmos and Zeus, and the mother of Dionysos. 17.
TITHONOS. Brother of Priamos and lover of Eos (Dawn), who left him each morning. Through the prayers of Eos, he became immortal, but he did not retain his youth and so became synonymous with a decrepit old man. 58.
TROS. The mythical founder of Troy.
TYNDAREUS. A king of Sparta and Lida’s husband; he fathered Helen, Klytemnestra, and the Dioskouroi, though most legends see him as a cuckold, with Zeus being the actual father of Helen and also of Polydeukis (Pollux).
ZEUS or DIAS. Son of Kronos and Rhea, brother of Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Dimitir, and Hera, who was also his wife, Zeus was the supreme Olympic god. He determined good and evil as judge, and he carried the thunderbolt as his weapon of choice, though he had many powers of life, death, and transformation at his disposal. He was the archetypal Greek deity. At the same time, he was almost helplessly or whimsically human, resorting to all manner of disguises and metamorphoses to deceive his sister-wife Hera and conceal romances with other goddesses and mortals. 1, 17, 53, 96, 102.
