Aloeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀλωεύς) can indicate one of two characters in Greek mythology:Aloeus the son of Poseidon and Canace husband first of Iphimedeia and later of Eriboea (Ἐρίβοια) and father of Salmoneus (who founded Elis) and the eponym of Otus and Ephialtes collectively known as the Aloadae. These giants made war on the gods and captured the god Ares in a bag. Aloeus’s wife Eeriboea reported this to the gods for which Aloeus had her flayed alive.
