Marpessa of Aetolia

Marpessa eventually married Idas, by whom she begot Cleopatra, the future wife of the hero Meleager.

[4] Idas, son of King Aphareus, came from Messenia to ask for the hand of Marpessa, but Evenus refused his request because he wanted his daughter to remain a virgin.

[5] After Poseidon consented to his use of the chariot, Idas kidnapped Marpessa and carried her away from a band of dancers and to Pleuron in Aetolia.

As the two fought for the girl's hand, Zeus intervened and asked Marpessa to choose between the mortal and the god.

Marpessa chose Idas, reasoning to Apollo that had she chosen the god, she would have eventually grown old and lost his affections.
