Halirrhothius (/ˌhælɪˈroʊθiəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἁλιρρόθιος, romanized: Halirrhóthios, lit.
[4] Another son of Halirrhothius, Samos of Mantinea was the victor of the four-horse chariot during the first Olympic games established by Heracles.
[2] According to the Parian Chronicle this event took place in 1532/1 BC during the reign of Cranaus.
[6] In another version of the myth, Halirrhothius was sent by his father to cut down the olive that had grown out of the spear of Athena.
[7][8] Servius adds that Poseidon was in such great grief of his son's passing, that he accused Ares of murder, and the matter was settled on the Areopagus.
