Sidero

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Sidero (Ancient Greek: Σιδηρώ means "the Iron One") was the second wife of Salmoneus and stepmother of Tyro, whom she mistreated. Pelias and Neleus, Tyro's twin sons, sought revenge when they reached adulthood. Although Sidero fled from them into Hera's district, Pelias nevertheless murdered her atop the altar to Hera, earning the goddess' undying hatred in the process.[1][2]
