Electryon

Electryon is a son of Perseus and Andromeda.  After the death of Perseus, he became king of Mycenae.  With his wife Anaxo, he had many children, Alcmene being the most famous one.  He was eventually killed in an accident by his son-in-law Amphitryon.  After his death, his brother Stheneleus took over the throne of Mycenae, and banished Amphitryon, the eventual son of Heracles.
