Alcathous

Speranza

Megareus promised the hand of his daughter to the hero who could kill the lion.

This was Alcathous.

Note that the two sons of Megareus (who were dead) fulfil a single function, namely, to deprive the king of male offspring.

Alcathous founded the Dioclea, that is, the Megaran initiation ritual for young boys.
