Udaeus (mythology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Udaeus (Ancient Greek: Οὐδαῖος) was one of the Spartoi or men that grew forth from the dragon's teeth which Cadmus sowed at Thebes. The other four surviving Spartoi were Chthonius, Hyperenor, Pelorus, and Echion.[1] Udaeus was the ancestor of the seer Tiresias.[2]
