In Greek mythology Eteocles was a king of Orchomenus. The local tradition concerning him is preserved in Pausanias’ Description of Greece and runs as follows. Eteocles was the son of Andreus (himself son of the river-god Peneus) and Euippe daughter of Leucon and successor to his father’s throne. Alternately he was called son of the river god Cephissus (hence referred to by the patronymic Cephisiades in some poetical texts according to Pausanias).
