Nisos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Nisos (Nisus) was one of the four sons of Pandion II. King of Athens.

Upon the death of Pandion II, Nisos succeeded Pandion II as king, but after the death of Pandion II, his other sons (Aegeas, Pallas, and Lykos) returned to Athens and took control of Athens from their uncle, Metion, who had seized the throne from Pandion. They drove out the sons of Metion, and put Aegeus on the throne. They divided the government in four but Aegeas became king.
