Τηρέας (EL)
Tereus (EN)

Ο Τηρέας ήταν βασιλιάς της Θράκης, γιος του θεού Άρη και της νύμφης Βιστωνίδας. Όταν ο βασιλιάς της Αθήνας Πανδίωνας ζήτησε τη βοήθειά του στον πόλεμο εναντίον του βασιλιά Λάβδακου, εκείνος έφτασε στην Αθήνα. Μετά τη νίκη του ο Πανδίωνας έδωσε στον Τηρέα για σύζυγό του την κόρη του, Πρόκνη. Το ζευγάρι έζησε στη Θράκη και απέκτησε έναν γιο, τον Ίτυ. Σύμφωνα με μια εκδοχή του μύθου, ο Τηρέας έκρυψε την Πρόκνη και προσποιούμενος ότι αυτή είχε πεθάνει ζήτησε από τον Πανδίωνα να παντρευτεί την αδελφή της, Φιλομήλα. Σύμφωνα με τον Οβίδιο, η Πρόκνη νοστάλγησε την αδελφή της και ζήτησε από τον Τηρέα να της τη φέρει από την Αθήνα. Εκείνος ερωτεύτηκε τη Φιλομήλα και, μόλις αποβιβάστηκαν στη Θράκη, τη βίασε. Στη συνέχεια της απέκοψε τη γλώσσα, για να μην αποκαλύψει σε κανέναν το έγκλημά του, και τη φυλάκισε σε μια καλύβα στο δάσος, λέγοντας στην Πρόκνη ότι η αδελφή της πέθανε. Η Φιλομήλα κέντησε σε ένα υφαντό τα όσα συνέβησαν και το έστειλε κρυφά στην αδελφή της, η οποία αποφάσισε να εκδικηθεί. Απελευθέρωσε την αδελφή της και από κοινού σκότωσαν τον Ίτυ, τον μαγείρεψαν και τον σέρβιραν για δείπνο στον Τηρέα. Όταν ο βασιλιάς συνειδητοποίησε τι έγινε, άρχισε να καταδιώκει τις δυο γυναίκες. Κατά την καταδίωξη η Πρόκνη μεταμορφώθηκε σε αηδόνι και η Φιλομήλα σε χελιδόνι (ή το αντίστροφο), ενώ ο Τηρέας σε τσαλαπετεινό. (EL)
Tereus was a king of Thrace, son of Ares and the Nymph Bistonis. When Pandion, king of Athens, asked for his aid in a war with Labdacus of Thebes, Tereus responded immediately. In gratitude for their victory, Pandion gave Tereus his daughter Procne for his bride. The couple returned to Thrace, where a son, Itys, was born to them. In one version of the myth, Tereus hid Procne and, pretending she had died, asked Pandion for her sister, Philomela’ according to Ovid (Metamorphoses 6.412-674), Procne missed her sister and asked Tereus to fetch her from Athens. However it happened, he fell in love with Philomela and upon reaching Thracian soil raped her, cut out her tongue so that she could not betray him, and hid her in a hut in the forest, telling Procne that she had died. Philomela embroidered the story on a piece of cloth and sent it in secret to her sister, who resolved to take vengeance. She freed Philomela and together they killed Itys, cooked him into a stew and served it to Tereus. When he realised what had happened he went in pursuit of the two women, but the gods turned Procne into a nightingale and Philomela into a swallow (or vice versa), while Tereus was transformed into a hoopoe.
