| - Atreus is the son of Kratos and an unnamed woman.
- Atreus was an ancient Greek King of Mycenae who bore two sons, King Agamemnon and King Menelaus. These two sons became kings in their own right, and were regarded as the "Atreides", meaning "sons of Atreus". The Atreides name managed to be passed on throughout the ages, and along with it, its inherent nobility. This was evidenced by the fact that a noble House of the Imperium bore the Atreides name. Rulers of House Atreides were supposedly direct descendants of Agamemnon and Menelaus, the sons of Atreus.
- Atreus was a stubborn village leader who hated and feared a Cyclops who had diverted a nearby river to irrigate Hera's Sacred Vineyard. He was taught the error of his ways by Hercules.
- Atreus was the son of Pelops and Hippodamia. His brother was Thyestes, he had several other siblings, Nicippe (mother of Eurystheus, by Sthelenus ), Astydamia (mother of Amphitryon, by Alcaeus), Eurydice, (mother of Alcmene by Electyron), Alcathous (father of Periboa, and grandfather of Ajax the Greater ) and Pittheus (father of Aethra, who married Aegeus and was mother of Theseus, by Poseidon).
- In Greek mythology, Atreus (Ancient Greek: Ἀτρεύς) was a king of Mycenae, the son of Pelops and Hippodamia, and the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus. Collectively, his descendants are known as Atreidai or Atreidae. According to most ancient sources, Atreus was the father of Plisthenes, but in some lyric poets (Ibycus, Bacchylides) Plisthenides (son of Plisthenes) is used as an alternative name for Atreus himself.

| - Atreus is the son of Kratos and an unnamed woman.
- Atreus was an ancient Greek King of Mycenae who bore two sons, King Agamemnon and King Menelaus. These two sons became kings in their own right, and were regarded as the "Atreides", meaning "sons of Atreus". The Atreides name managed to be passed on throughout the ages, and along with it, its inherent nobility. This was evidenced by the fact that a noble House of the Imperium bore the Atreides name. Rulers of House Atreides were supposedly direct descendants of Agamemnon and Menelaus, the sons of Atreus.
- Atreus was a stubborn village leader who hated and feared a Cyclops who had diverted a nearby river to irrigate Hera's Sacred Vineyard. He was taught the error of his ways by Hercules.
- Atreus was the son of Pelops and Hippodamia. His brother was Thyestes, he had several other siblings, Nicippe (mother of Eurystheus, by Sthelenus ), Astydamia (mother of Amphitryon, by Alcaeus), Eurydice, (mother of Alcmene by Electyron), Alcathous (father of Periboa, and grandfather of Ajax the Greater ) and Pittheus (father of Aethra, who married Aegeus and was mother of Theseus, by Poseidon). He was a descendant of Tantalus, and thus was subject to the Curse of the House of Atreus (named after him). He was the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus , collectively known as the "Atreides" or sons of Atreus. He was married to Aerope but she committed adultery with Thyestes. He promised to sacrifice his best lamb to Artemis, but when he found a golden one, he gave it to Aerope, to hide it. As a token of her love, she gave it to Thyestes.
- In Greek mythology, Atreus (Ancient Greek: Ἀτρεύς) was a king of Mycenae, the son of Pelops and Hippodamia, and the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus. Collectively, his descendants are known as Atreidai or Atreidae. Atreus and his twin brother Thyestes were exiled by their father for murdering their half-brother Chrysippus in their desire for the throne of Olympia. They took refuge in Mycenae, where they ascended to the throne in the absence of King Eurystheus, who was fighting the Heracleidae. Eurystheus had meant for their stewardship to be temporary, but it became permanent after his death in battle. According to most ancient sources, Atreus was the father of Plisthenes, but in some lyric poets (Ibycus, Bacchylides) Plisthenides (son of Plisthenes) is used as an alternative name for Atreus himself.
