Azeus’ lineage was recounted in the following myth: ". . . I will lift the veil from your remotest ancestry: Chthon (Gaia) teemed of old and bore a son Azeios, who grew to manhood amid the mighty battles of the
Titanes.
Gigas Azeios encountered a Nymphe with lover's intent, and begot Lykon; and hero Lykon begot a fair maiden Deianeira. Now Pelasgos of old went up the fair couch of Deianeira when she was growing to womanhood; he was the dear son of
Zeus Eleutherios (God of Freedom); and from her bed he got Lykaon, shepherd of the land of Arkadia."The Arcadians were called Aezeians during Aezeius’ reign and this changed into Lycaonians when Lycaon came into power. == See also ==
