Aleuadae

The Aleuadae (Ancient Greek: Ἀλευάδαι) were an ancient Thessalian family of Larissa, who claimed descent from the mythical Aleuas (Ἀλεύας). The Aleuadae were the noblest and most powerful among all the families of Thessaly, whence Herodotus calls its members "rulers" or "kings" (βασιλεῖς).
