In
Greek mythology,
Pleuron, a son of
Aetolus and
Pronoe, and brother of
Calydon, was married to
Xanthippe, daughter of
Dorus, by whom he became the father of
Agenor,
Sterope,
Stratonice, and Laophonte. He is said to have founded the town of
Pleuron in Aetolia (and apparently was its
eponym), but he had also a
heroon at Sparta, erected by his great-granddaughter, Queen
Leda.
