Actaios' World

Aktaios is a figure in Greek mythology . He is considered the mythical primordial king of Attica.

After Pausanias , Actaius was the first king of Attica or the successor of Porphyrion . He was the father Aglauros ' and' father Cecrops I. Attica was for him first file or Aktaia called before the name of Kekrops in Kekropia was changed. The peninsula on which Piraeus was located was still called that in historical times . Since Aktaios had no sons, his son-in-law Kekrops I became king of Attica.

As with almost all people in Greek mythology, there are also various traditions about Aktaios. According to Pherecytes of Athens , a later Actaios of Glauke , who was originally thought to be the daughter of Cychreus , is the father of Telamon , who was the local hero of Salamis . This was intended to underpin Athens' claim to salamis.

According to the legend, even Actaios and the Dioscouri tutored near Cheiron.

The Greeks narrated that Actaios was taught by the wise teacher, the art of hunting. He became an excellent hunter and spent his days in the forests. Fate, however hid a tragic end to the beautiful, brave and fearless young man.
