In Greek mythology, Thyreus (Ancient Greek: Θυρέα means "porter") was a Calydonian prince as the son of King Oeneus and Althaea, daughter of King Thestius of Pleuron. He was the brother of Deianeira, Meleager, Toxeus, Clymenus, Periphas, Agelaus and Gorge.[1] In some accounts, he was called as the "horse-taming" Pheres[2] or as Phereus.[3] When the war between the Curetes and the Calydonians broke out, Thyreus along with his brothers, including Meleager, all fell during the battle.[4]
