The son of this figure won a five year supply of iron after winning a game after the death of Patroclus which involved throwing a piece of metal or rope at a spike in the ground. That son, Polypoetes, was also present at the burial of Calchas. His sister, Physadeia, became a handmaiden to Helen after she was captured by the Dioscuri and taken back to Sparta. This man encountered Theseus when he attempted to steal his cattle at Marathon, but became so impressed by him that they became friends. His ally Cymelus perished at his wedding, which saw Caeneus, originally a girl who Poseidon turned into a brave warrior, prove nearly invulnerable until he was crushed with rocks and tree trunks. That event also saw Theseus cut off the ears of Eurytion, and at some point this man was married to Hippod

Heracles was unable to free this man, whose attempt to steal the wife of a god was too serious a crime to go unpunished. For 10 points, name this king of Thessaly who attempted to steal the wife of Hades.
