Diores (son of Aiolus)
Diores ( Greek Διώρης ) is a figure in Greek mythology .
At Parthenios , who wrote an Epyllion named Hermes in the 4th century BC. Active poet Philetas , Diores was one of the sons of Aiolus .
When Odysseus roamed the Sicilian and Tyrrhenian seas during his wanderings , he came to the island of Aiolos and fell in love with Polymela , one of the daughters of Aiolos. After Odysseus' departure, Polymela was found jealously guarding some of the Trojan booty that Odysseus had given her and playing with them tearfully. After the relationship revealed in this way, Aiolos cursed Odysseus and wanted to severely punish Polymela. But her brother Diores, who was really attached to his sister, asked for her hand, which Aiolos granted. The sibling marriage among the children of Aiolus was not uncommon; rather, all six sons of Aiolus were married to his six daughters, as Archinos, the author of a local history of Thessaly , explained in a Scholion to Homer's Odyssey .
