Perses (brother of Aeetes)

In Greek mythology, Perses (/ˈpɜːrsiz/; Ancient Greek: Πέρσης, romanized: Pérsēs, lit. 'destroyer or Persian') is the brother of Aeëtes, Aloeus, Circe and Pasiphaë, as he is a son of Helios, the god of the sun, by Perse, an Oceanid nymph. Unlike his siblings, Perses was not mentioned in earlier sources like Hesiod's Theogony (which only lists Aeëtes and Circe as Helios and Perse's children) nor Apollonius Rhodius' Argonautica. Rather, most of the sources mentioning him are Roman. In Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica, Perses is a brother of Aeëtes only on his mother's side, his father being unknown.
