One of the sons of Pelops and Hippodamia; his son, Aigisthos (Aegisthus), was the result of a union with his daughter, Pelopia.
Thyestes was the brother of Atreus and when he tried to seduce Atreus’ wife, Aerope, he was banished by Atreus and according to the tragic poet, Aeskhylus (Aeschylus), Atreus killed all but one of Thyestes’ children and fed them to him at a feast; the only surviving child, Aigisthos, was instrumental in the murder of Atreus’ son, Agamemnon.
