Troezen and Pittheus were said to have come from Pisatis to King Aetius, son of Anthas and grandson of Poseidon and Alcyone, who reigned over the cities of Hyperea and Anthea, and to have become his co-rulers and then successors. When Troezen died, Pittheus incorporated the two cities into one and named it Troezen after his brother. [1] [5]
Troezen is the setting of Euripides' tragedy Hippolytus, which recounts the story of the eponymous son of Theseus who becomes the subject of the love of his stepmother, Phaedra. While fleeing the city, Hippolytus is killed when his chariot is attacked by a bull rising from the sea. [ 6 ]

Althepus renamed the land Oraea, which he ruled, and called it Althepia. [2] These are the former names of the land about Troezen. In the reign of this king, Poseidon and Athena contended, as at Athens, for the land of the Troezenians, but, through the mediation of Zeus, they became the joint guardians of the country.
In Greek mythology, Orus (Ancient Greek: Ὦρος, accusative Ὦρον 'Horus') may refer to two different characters . Orus, the "first to be born" in the land about the Troezen [1] and also first king of that kingdom which was then called Oraea after him.
