Aloeus

A son of Poseidon and Canace. He married Iphimedeia, the daughter of Triops, who was in love with Poseidon, and who used to walk by the sea-side, take her hands full of its water, and sprinkle her bosom with it.

The two sons whom she had by Poseidon were called Aloadae, after their nominal father.
