At the first site, which was Epidaurus, sacred to Apollo and the healer Asclepius, Theseus turned the tables on the chthonic bandit, Periphetes, the Club Bearer, who beat his opponents into the Earth, and took from him the stout staff that often identifies Theseus in vase-paintings.

At the Isthmian entrance to the Underworld was a robber named Sinis, often called "Pityokamptes" ( Πιτυοκάμπτης, he who bends Pinetrees). He would capture travelers, tie them between two pine trees that were bent down to the ground, and then let the trees go, tearing his victims apart. Theseus killed him by his own method. He then became intimate with Sinis's daughter, Perigune, fathering the child Melanippus.

In another deed north of the Isthmus, at a place called Crommyon, he killed an enormous pig, the Crommyonian Sow, bred by an old crone named Phaea. The Bibliotheca described the Crommyonian sow as an offspring of Typhon and Echidna.

Near Megara, an elderly robber named Sciron forced travellers along the narrow cliff-face pathway to wash his feet. While they knelt, he kicked them off the cliff behind them, where they were eaten by a sea monster. Theseus pushed him off the cliff.

Another of these enemies was Cercyon, king at the holy site of Eleusis, who challenged passers-by to a wrestling match and, when he had beaten them, killed them. Theseus beat Cercyon at wrestling and then killed him instead.

The last bandit was Procrustes the Stretcher, who had two beds, one of which he offered to passers-by in the plain of Eleusis. He then made them fit into it, either by stretching them or by cutting off their feet. Since he had two beds of different lengths, no one would fit. Theseus turned the tables on Procrustes, cutting off his legs and decapitating him with his own axe.

 T h e c l a (Ancient Greek: Θέκλα, Thékla, God's fame) was a saint of the early Christian Church, and a reported follower of Paul the Apostle. The earliest record of her life comes from the ancient apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla.  

 M a r p e s s a /mɑrˈpɛsə/ (Ancient Greek: Μάρπησσα, Márpēssa, the robbed one) was an Aetolian princess, and a granddaughter of Ares. According to another myth, she was the daughter of Evenus and Alcippe. She loved Idas and was loved by him in return. She was also loved by Apollo.

When Idas asked to marry Marpessa, Evenus refused his request. Idas went to Poseidon and begged for the use of a winged chariot. Poseidon consented to his use, and Idas stole Marpessa away and fled. Her father, after chasing the couple for a long time and realizing he could not catch up to them, killed his horses and then drowned himself in a nearby river, which took his name.

Apollo also pursued them in his own chariot, wanting Marpessa for himself. Eventually Zeus intervened and commanded Marpessa to choose between her mortal lover and the god. Marpessa chose Idas, reasoning to Apollo that had she chosen the god, she would have eventually grown old and lost his affections:

"And thou beautiful god, in that far time,

 When in thy setting sweet thou gazest down

 On this grey head, wilt thou remember then

 That once I pleased thee, that I once was young?"

 A r c h i a s fell in love with the son of Melissus, named Actaeon (distinct from Actaeon, son of Aristaeus) - the most handsome youth in the city. Finding that "no fair means or persuasion" prevailed upon the youth, Archias made plans to kidnap him. Under the guise of inviting himself to Melissus' house in order to take part in a feast, Archias and his accomplices laid hands on the boy and attempted to spirit him away. The family resisted, and in the ensuing tug of war Actaeon was torn apart.

Melissus demanded justice of the Corinthians, but was ignored by them. In return he climbed to the top of Poseidon's temple, invoked the god's wrath as vengeance for his son's murder and threw himself onto the rocks. A great drought and famine resulted, and the oracle, upon being consulted, announced that the death of Actaeon had to be avenged. Archias went into voluntary exile, and led a group of Corinthians into Sicily where they established the colony of S y r a c u s e.

After establishing the town and fathering two daughters, Archias was "treacherously" slain by T e l e p h u s, whom he had taken advantage of when Telephus was still a boy.

 T e l e m u s (Τήλεμος, Telemos), a prophet, son of Eurymus. Telemus warned the Cyclops Polyphemus that he would lose his sight to a man named Odysseus.
   
    'Alas!
    Now an ancient prophecy about me
    has truly been fulfilled! Telemus,   
    fine, tall son of Eurymus, a seer
    who surpassed all men in prophecy,
    reached old age among the Cyclopes
    as a soothsayer. He said all these things
    would come to pass someday—I'd lose my sight
    at the hand of someone called Odysseus.

 P h o e b e married Pollux and bore him a son, named either Mnesileos or Mnasinous.

 Phoebe and Hilaeira were priestesses of Athena and Artemis, and betrothed to Idas and Lynceus, the sons of Aphareus. Castor and Pollux were charmed by their beauty and carried them off. When Idas and Lynceus tried to rescue their brides-to-be they were both slain, but Castor himself fell. Pollux persuaded Zeus to allow him to share his immortality with his brother.

S A L M A C I S / / O E N O N E / i ˈnoʊ ni /

S a l m a c i s (Greek: Σαλμακίς) was an atypical naiad who rejected the ways of the virginal Greek goddess Artemis in favour of vanity and idleness. Her attempted rape of Hermaphroditus places her as the only nymph rapist in the Greek mythological canon (though see also Dercetis).

O e n o n e (Greek: Oinōnē Οἰνώνη, wine woman) was the first wife of Paris of Troy, whom he abandoned for the queen Helen of Sparta. She was a mountain nymph on Mount Ida in Phrygia, a mountain associated with the Mother Goddess Cybele, alternatively Rhea. Her father was Cebren, a river-god. Her very name links her to the gift of wine.

P h a e d r a  (Greek: Φαίδρα, Phaidra, bright) was  the daughter of Minos and Pasiphaë, wife of Theseus, sister of Ariadne, and the mother of Demophon of Athens and Acamas. Married to Theseus, Phaedra fell in love with Hippolytus, Theseus's son born by either Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons, or Antiope, her sister. (eu-, good)

Erebus :
In Greek mythology, Erebus /ˈɛrəbəs/ (Greek: Ἔρεβος, deep darkness, shadow), representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod's Theogony identifies him as one of the first five beings in existence, born of Chaos. Erebusb fathered several other deities with Nyx; depending on the source of the mythology, this union includes Aether, Hemera, the Hesperides, Hypnos, the Moirai, Geras, Styx, Charon, and Thanatos. Erebus is also used of a region of the Greek underworld where the dead pass immediately after dying, and is sometimes used interchangeably with Tartarus.

Hesperides :
The Hesperides /hɛˈspɛrɪdiːz/ (Greek: Ἑσπερίδες) are nymphs who tend a blissful garden in a far western corner of the world, located near Libya or the Atlas mountains in North Africa at the edge of the encircling Oceanus, the world-ocean. The nymphs are said to be the daughters of Hesperus.

Palinurus :
In Roman mythology, especially Virgil's Aeneid, is the helmsman of Aeneas's ship. Later authors used him as a general type of navigator or guide.

Nephele :
Nephele (/ˈnɛfəˌli/; Greek: Νεφέλη, from νέφος nephos, cloud; Latinized to Nubes) was a cloud nymph who figured prominently in the story of Phrixus and Helle.

Sterquilinus :
In Roman mythology, Sterquilinus (manure; also Stercutus or Sterculius) was a god of fertilization. He may have been equivalent to Picumnus.
