Coronus

The son of Caeneus, the king of the Lapiths, and the father of Leonteus and Lysidice. He made war upon Aegimius, king of the Dorians, in a dispute about the boundaries of the country. Being besieged, Aegimius called in the help of Heracles and offered him a share of the country. Heracles killed Coronus and others, and handed the whole country over to Aegimius.
