In some traditions Perieres was called a son of Cynortas, and besides the sons above mentioned he is said to have been, by Gorgophone, the father of Tyndareos and Icarius. (Tzetz. ad Lyc. 511; Apollod. 1.9.5, 3.10.3.) Oebalus also is called a son of Perieres. (Schol. ad Eurip. Orest. 447.) Afterthedeath of Perieres, Gorgophone is said to have married Oebalus, and to have been the first widow in Greece that married a second husband. (Paus. 2.21.8, comp. iii. 1.4.)
