Mneseus

In Greek mythology, Mneseus (Ancient Greek: Μνησέα) was one of the ten sons of Poseidon and Cleito in Plato's myth of Atlantis.[1] He was the elder brother of Autochton and his other siblings were Atlas and Eumelus, Ampheres and Evaemon, Elasippus and Mestor, and lastly, Azaes and Diaprepes.[2]

Mythology

Mneseus, along with his nine siblings, became the heads of ten royal houses, each ruling a tenth portion of the island, according to a partition made by Poseidon himself, but all subject to the supreme dynasty of Atlas who was the eldest of the ten.[3]
