[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting|You can help!]] :''"Tyro" is also an alternative spelling for "[[Marcus Tullius Tiro|Tiro]]", and can also mean a novice or beginner, from the [[Latin]] ''tiro'' "a young soldier, a recruit".'' {{wiktionary|tyro}} In [[Greek mythology]], '''Tyro''' was the daughter of [[Salmoneus]] and mother of [[Pelias]] and [[Neleus]]. Her father, Salmoneus, was the brother of [[Athamus]] and [[Sisyphus]]. Tyro was married to [[Cretheus]] (with whom she had one son, [[Aeson]]) but loved [[Enipeus]], a river god. She pursued Enipeus, who refused her advances. One day, [[Poseidon]], filled with lust for Tyro, disguised himself as Enipeus and from their union was born [[Pelias]] and [[Neleus]], twin boys. Tyro exposed her sons on a mountain and they were raised by a maid. When they reached adulthood, Pelias and Neleus found Tyro and killed their stepmother, [[Sidero]], for having mistreated their biological mother. Sidero hid in a temple to [[Hera]] but Pelias killed her anyway, causing Hera's undying hatred of Pelias - and glorious patronage of [[Jason]] and the [[Argonauts]] in their long quest for the [[Golden Fleece]]. Pelias' half brother, the son of Tyro and [[Cretheus]], was the father of [[Jason]]. {{Greek-deity-stub}} [[Category:Greek mythology]] [[Category:Mortal parents of demigods in Classical mythology]] [[bg:Тиро]] [[ca:Tiro]] [[de:Tyro]] [[el:Τυρώ]] [[es:Tiro (mitología)]] [[fr:Tyro]] [[it:Tiro (mitologia)]] [[lt:Tiro]] [[ja:テューロー]] [[pl:Tyro]] [[pt:Tiro (mitologia)]] [[ru:Тиро]] [[fi:Tyro]]
