Aërŏpé

（Ἀερόπη). The daughter of Catreus, king of Crete, and wife of Plisthenes, the son of Atreus, by whom she became the mother of Agamemnon and Menelaüs. After the death of Plisthenes, Aëropé married Atreus; and her two sons, who were educated by Atreus, were generally believed to be his sons. Aëropé was faithless to Atreus, being seduced by Thyestes. See Pelopidae.
