Γιος του Ελατου (Παυσ. 8,4,6). Εδωσε το όνομα στο βουνό και στον Ερμή του οποίου Ναός υπήρχε στην κορυφή του (Παυσ. 8,17,1).
Γιος του Δία και της Υβρεως ή της Θύμβρης ή της Καλλιστούς ή του Ερμή. Είχε μορφή μισού ανθρώπου και μισού τράγου. Εφηύρε τον αυλό. Ζούσε σε σπηλιές των βουνών της Αρκαδίας.
Aegocerus (Aigokeros), a surname of Pan, descriptive of his figure with the horns of a goat, but is more commonly the name given to one of the signs of the Zodiac. (Lucan, ix. 536; Lucret. v. 614; C. Caes. Germ. in Arat. 213.)
Agreus, a hunter, occurs as a surname of Pan and Aristaeus. (Pind. Pyth. ix. 115; Apollon. Rhod. iii. 507; Diod. iv. 81; Hesych. s.v.)
Aegipan (Aigipan), that is, Goat-Pan, was according to some statements a being distinct from Pan, while others regard him as identical with Pan. His story appears to be altogether of late origin. According to Hyginus (Fab. 155) he was the son of Zeus and a goat, or of Zeus and Aega, the wife of Pan, and was transferred to the stars (Hygin. Poct. Astr. ii. 13.28). Others again make Aegipan the father of Pan, and state that he as well as his son was represented as half goat and half fish (Eratosth. Catast. 27). When Zeus in his contest with the Titans was deprived of the sinews of his hands and feet, Hermes and Aegipan secretly restored them to him and fitted them in their proper places (Apollod. i. 6.3; Hygin. Poet. Astr. l. c.). According to a Roman tradition mentioned by Plutarch (Parallel. 22), Aegipan had sprung from the incestuous intercourse of Valeria of Tusculum and her father Valerius, and was considered only a different name for Silvanus.

Pleiades. The seven daughters of Atlas and the Ocean-nymph Pleione, born on the Arcadian mountain Cyllene, sisters of the Hyades. The eldest and most beautiful, Maia, became the mother of Hermes by Zeus; Electra and Taygete, of Dardanus and Lacedaemon by the same; Alcyone, of Hyrieus by Poseidon; Celaeno, of Lycus and Nycteus by the same; Sterope or Asterope, of Oenomaus by Ares; Merope (i. e. "the mortal"), of Glaucus by Sisyphus. Out of grief, either for the fate of Atlas or for the death of their sisters, they killed themselves and were placed among the constellations. According to another legend, they were pursued for five years by the giant hunter Orion, until Zeus turned the distressed nymphs and their pursuer into neighbouring stars. As the constellation of the seven stars, they made known by their rising (in the middle of May) the approach of harvest, and by their setting (at the end of October) the time for the new sowing. Their rising and setting were also looked upon as the sign of the opening and closing of the sailing season. One of the seven stars is invisible; this was explained to be Merope, who hid herself out of shame at her marriage with a mortal. The constellation of the Pleiades seems also to have been compared to a flight of doves (peleiades). Hence the Pleiades were supposed to be meant in the story told by Homer of the ambrosia brought to Zeus by the doves, one of which is always lost at the Planctae Rocks, but is regularly replaced by a new one. Among the Romans, the constellation was called Vergiliae, the stars of spring. As being the daughters of Atlas, the name Atlantides is often used of them.

A daughter of Oceanus, and mother of the Pleiades by Atlas.
Μία από της 7 Πλειάδες οι οποίες θεοποιήθηκαν και έγιναν τα αστέρια του ομώνυμου αστερισμού. Ηταν κόρη του Ατλαντα και της Πλειόνης και με το Δία μητέρα του Ερμή, τον οποίο γέννησε στην Κυλλήνη (Ησιοδ.Θεογ. 938).
Maia. The daughter of Atlas and Pleione, one of the Pleiades, and mother of Hermes by Zeus. The Romans identified her with an old Italian goddess of spring, Maia Maiestas (also called Fauna, Bona Dea, Ops), who was held to be the wife of Vulcan, and to whom the flamen of that god sacrificed a pregnant sow on the first of May.

Maia or Maias, a daughter of Atlas and Pleiono (whence she is called Atlantis
and Pleias), was the eldest of the Pleiades, and in a grotto of mount Cyllene
in Arcadia she became by Zeus the mother of Hermes. Areas, the son of Zeus by
Callisto, was given to her to be reared. (Hom. Od. xiv. 435, Hymn. in Merc. 3;
Hes. Theog. 938; Apollod. iii. 10. 2, 8. 2; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 219; Horat. Carm.
i. 10. 1, 2. 42, &c. )
Maia is also the name of a divinity worshipped at Rome, who was also
called Majesta. She is mentioned in connection with Vulcan, and was regarded by
some as the wife of that god, though it seems for no other reason but because
a priest of Vulcan offered a sacrifice to her on the first of May, while in the
popular superstition of later times she was identified with Maia, the daughter
of Atlas. It is more probable that Maia was an ancient name of the bona dea, who
was also designated by the names of Ops, Fauna, and Fatua. (Macrob. Sat. i. 12;
Gellius, xiii. 22; Fest. p. 134, ed. Muller.)

Celaeno (Kelaino), a Pleiad, daughter of Atlas and Pleione, and by Poseidon the
mother of Lycus and Eurypylus, or, according to others, of Lycus and Chimaereus
by Prometheus (Apollod. iii. 10.1; Ov. Her. xix. 135; Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod.
iv. 1561; Tzetz. ad Lycoph 132).
There are several other mythological beings of this name : namely,
a Harpy (Virg. Aen. iii. 211), a daughter of Ergeus (Hygin. Fab. 157), a daughter
of Hyamus (Paus. x. 6.2), a Danaid (Strab. xii.; Apollod. ii. 1. 5), and an Amazon.
(Diod. iv. 16.)
Κόρη του Ατλαντα και της Πλειόνης, σύζυγος ή μητέρα του Οινόμαου.
Επώνυμη του όρους Ταϋγετος της Πελοποννήσου.
Alcyone or Halcyone (Alkuone). A Pleiad, a daughter of Atlas and Pleione, by whom Poseidon begot Aethusa, Hyrieus and Hyperenor (Apollod. iii. 10.1; Hygin. Praef. Fab.; Ov. Heroid. xix. 13..) To these children Pausanias (ii. 30.7) adds two others, Hyperes and Anthas.
Agoraea and Aoraeus (Agoraia and Agoraios), are epithets given to several divinities
who were considered as the protectors of the assemblies of the people in the agora,
such as Zeus (Paus. iii. 11.8, v. 15.3), Athena (iii. 11.8), Artemis (v. 15.3),
and Hermes (i. 15.1, ii. 9.7, ix. 17.1). As Hermes was the god of commerce, this
surname seems to have reference to the agora as the market-place.
Cyllenius (Kullenios), a surname of Hermes, which he derived from mount Cyllene in Arcadia, where he had a temple (Paus. viii. 17.1), or from the circumstance of Maia having given birth to him on that mountain. (Virg. Aen. viii. 139, &c.)
Οι εφτά κόρες του Ατλαντα και της Πλειόνης, που ο Δίας τις μετέτρεψε σε περιστέρια για να ξεφύγουν από τον Ωρίωνα, που τις είχε ερωτευτεί. Τα περιστέρια πέταξαν στον ουρανό και έγιναν αστερισμός. Στις Πλειάδες αναφέρεται κι ο Ομηρος (Ιλ. Σ 486, Οδ. ε 272).
Ο Ισχυς ήταν γιος του Ελατου και είχε συνευρεθεί με την Κορωνίδα όταν αυτή ήταν εγκυος στον Ασκληπιό από τον Απόλλωνα. Η Αρτεμις εκδικούμενη για την προσβολή στον Απόλλωνα σκότωσε την Κορωνίδα και την ίδια τύχη είχε και ο Ισχυς (Παυσ. 2,26,6 & 8,4,6).
Γιος του Αρκάδα και της Ερατώς. Πήρε το ένα από τα τρία μέρη στα οποία μοίρασε τη χώρα ο Αρκάς, το βουνό που αργότερα ονομάστηκε Κυλλήνη. Αργότερα μαζί με τους υπηκόους του μετοίκησε στη Φωκίδα, όπου και ίδρυσε την Ελάτεια (Παυσ. 8.4.3-4).
