Because Tityus was brought up under the earth, he was said to be earth-born (ghgenh/s, Scholiast on Ap. Rhod., Argon. i.761). Homer calls him simply a son of Earth (Hom.

He slew them out of spite at Zeus, because Zeus slew his son Aesculapius with a thunderbolt at Pytho; for by his remedies Aesculapius raised the dead.” But Zeus would have hurled him to Tartarus; however, at the intercession of Latona he ordered him to serve as a thrall to a man for a year. So he went to Admetus, son of Pheres, at Pherae, and served him as a herdsman, and caused all the cows to drop twins.See Frazer's Appendix to Apollodorus, “Apollo and the Kine of Admetus.” But some say that Aphareus and Leucippus were sons of Per
