Actaeus

According to Pausanias,1 the son of Erysichthon, and the father of Agraulus. He was the earliest king of Attica. Agraulus married Cecrops, who later succeeded him as ruler.

Apollodorus on the other hand mentions Cecrops as the first Attican king and lists the three daughters as those of Cecrops.2
