[4] With Chloris,[5] Neleus was the father of Pero, Periclymenus,[6] Alastor, Chomius, Asterius, Deimachus, Epilaus, Eurybius, Eurymenes, Evagoras, Phrasius, Pylaon, Taurus and Nestor.
Some say that Chloris was mother only of three of Neleus' sons (Nestor, Periclymenus and Chromius), whereas the rest were his children by different women,[7][8] but other accounts explicitly disagree with the statement.
[10] Tyro was married to Cretheus (with whom she had three sons, Aeson, Pheres, and Amythaon), though she loved Enipeus, a river god.
When they reached adulthood, Pelias and Neleus found their mother Tyro and then killed her stepmother, Sidero, for having mistreated her.
Heracles later asked Neleus to cleanse him of the blood-debt he gained by killing his own wife and children, but was refused.
