Androgeus

In Greek mythology, Androgeus was the father of Sthenelus and a son of Minos and Pasiphae.

Aegeus, King of Athens, killed Androgeus because he won every prize during a feast. As punishment, the Athenians had to send several youths every year to be devoured by the Minotaur. This continued until the Minotaur was killed by Theseus.

Alternative: Andregeos.

Another Androgeus was King of the Britons, see: Androgeus of Britain.
