Sidero

Sidero ( Greek  Σιδηρώ , the iron one ) is the stepmother of Tyro and wife of Salmoneus von Elis in Greek mythology .

When the illegitimate and abandoned sons of Tyro, the twins Pelias and Neleus, grew up, they found their way back to their mother.

However, Pelias killed Sidero for continuing to treat Tyro badly and cruelly. Since he murdered her on the altar in the temple of Hera , where she had taken refuge, Pelias incurred the inextinguishable wrath of the Mother of Gods.
