Broteas (Lapith)
Broteas ( Greek Βροτέας ) is a Lapith of Greek mythology .
He appears only in Ovid's Metamorphoses as a guest at the wedding of Peirithoos and Hippodameia , at which the Centaurs begin a fight with the Lapiths. When the Centaur Gryneus throws an altar of fire into the crowd, Broteas and Oreios are slain by the latter. Gryneus is then killed by Exadios with a deer antler.
