Androgeus
In Greek mythology, Androgeus was the father of Sthenelus and a son of Minos and Pasiphae.
Aegeus, King of Athens, killed Androgeus because he won every prize during a feast. As punishment, the Athenians had to send several youths every year to be devoured by the Minotaur. This continued until the Minotaur was killed by Theseus.
Alternative: Andregeos
Another Androgeus was King of the Britons, see: Androgeus of Britain
