Endeïs was the wife of Aeacus and the
mother of
Peleus and
Telamon. Her name would appear to derive from endo, 'to entangle', presumably
meaning 'one who lives at cross purposes', or even 'enemy'. We do
know that she hated her step son
Phocus (Aeacus' son by
Psamathe) and that she and one of her sons killed him and hid the
body.
