Tammes (sc. Athamas) is probably the son of Aeolus. His daughters included Helle, Themisto, and Eurycleia, a daughter of Ino. This Athamas forms part of the background to the story of the Golden Fleece. The daughter of a younger Athamas was central to the foundation myth of Teos. Which daughter is meant here cannot be determined.
