by Micha F. Lindemans

A son of Zeus and Antiope, and twin brother of Amphion. The two brothers helped building the walls of Thebes. His wife is Aedon, although the Greek poet Pindar mentions Thebe as his wife. In contrast to his brother, who was artistic, Zethus had a rough nature and was a passionate hunter.
