Family
Peratus was the son of the sea-god Poseidon and Calchinia, daughter of King Leucippus. [2] He was father of Plemnaeus who succeeded him to the throne of Aegialea (former name of Sicyon). [3]
Mythology
Peratus' grandfather, King Leucippus, brought him up and at the latter's death handed over the kingdom to him. [2] However, in some accounts, the crown of Sicyon was passed to Messapus before being inherited by Eratus . [1]
