His siblings were Athamas, Cretheus, Deioneus, Magnes, Salmoneus, Sisyphus, Alycone, Calyce, Canace, Peisidice and Perimede.
In the first version, he could be a son of King Cynortas, the husband of Gorgophone, the famous daughter of Perseus, and the father of Tyndareus, Icarius, Aphareus and Leucippus.
After Perieres' death, she married Oebalus, king of Sparta and son of Cynortas, and had by him Tyndareus, Icarius and Arene.
Pisus, son of Aphareus and founder of Pisa in Elis, in some versions of the myth, was one of Perieres' children.
[9] The scholia on Apollonius Rhodius' Argonautica recounted that Perieres was the father of a certain Deidameia,[10] who was the mother of Iphiclus, Althaea and Leda by King Thestius of Pleuron, the son of Ares and Demonice.
