Leucus, son of the bronze giant
Talos of
Crete and foster son of King
Idomeneus. Following the advice of
Nauplius, he seduced
Meda, wife of Idomeneus, who had been convinced by Nauplius not to stay faithful to her husband, when Idomeneus himself had gone to
Trojan War. Leucus eventually killed Meda and took possession of the kingdom; he also killed her daughter
Cleisithyra, despite the fact that she was betrothed to him by Idomeneus, and two sons of Meda,
Iphiclus and
Lycus (or Leucus). Idomeneus was driven out of Crete by Leucus upon return from Troy.[1]
