Actaeus
In Greek mythology, Actaeus (; Ancient Greek: Ἀκταῖος Ἀktaῖos means "coast-man"), also called Actaeon, was the first king of Attica, according to Pausanias. Family 
Actaeus was the father of Aglaurus, and father-in-law to Cecrops, the first king of the city of Athens. In one account, in addition to Aglaurus, Actaeon fathered Erse, Pandrosus and Phoenike. Mythology 
Actaion named the Phoenician letters from his daughter Phoenice who died a maiden in her honour. Actaeus was said to have ruled over a city named Acte ( Akte) or Actica. The location of this city is uncertain, but given that Acte means "coast" or "promontory", one can speculate that this is a culture reference to local or native population groups inhabiting some coastal areas of the Attic promontory, perhaps sharing language, or ethnic ties. This concords with evidence from the archaeological record which attest widespread coastal settlement in the Neolithic period (OED ad. loc. cit. Attica). One tradition states that Actaeus gave Attica its name before it was changed to Cecropia by Cecrops, others claim that Atthis, a daughter of Cranaos, the second king of Athens, was Attica's namesake. Actaeus had a daughter – Agraulus, who was married to Cecrops, the first king of the city of Athens. According to the Bibliotheca, on the other hand, Cecrops was the first king of Attica, and the three daughters were his own. Notes
