Peleus is a character in Greek mythology, known as the father of the Greek hero Achilles. He was the son of Aeacus, king of the island of Aegina, and was married to the sea-nymph Thetis. Peleus and Thetis are also known for their wedding, to which all the gods were invited, except Eris (the goddess of discord) who in anger threw a golden apple into the congregation, leading to a dispute among the goddesses that eventually resulted in the Trojan War.

Peleus
In Greek mythology, Peleus was a hero whose myth was already known to the hearers of Homer in the late 8th century BC. Peleus was the son of Aeacus, king of the island of Aegina, and Endeïs, the oread of Mount Pelion in Thessaly; he was the father of Achilles. He and his brother Telamon were friends of Heracles, serving in his expedition against the Amazons, his war against King Laomedon, and with him in the quest for the Golden Fleece. Though there were no further kings in Aegina, the kings of Epirus claimed descent from Peleus in the historic period.
