The son of Autesion and a descendant of the Argonaut, Euphemos.
The island of Kalliste (Calliste) was magically created from a clod of earth which was presented to Euphemos by the half-fish, half-man shaped god, Triton.
Theras was the regent of Sparta until his nephews were of sufficient age to claim the throne; after having tasted the sweetness of power he was no longer satisfied to be a common citizen so he took part of his family and a few other followers and settled on the island of Kalliste; the island was thus renamed Thera.
