Ancient Greek : Μέρμερος , Mérmeros ;
Latin : Mermerus ) and Pheres (
Ancient Greek : Φέρης , Phéres , modern pronunciation Féris ;
Latin : Pheres ) were the sons of
Jason and
Medea . They were killed either by the
Corinthians
[1] or by Medea,
[2] for reasons that vary depending on the rendition. In one account, Mermerus was killed by a lioness while hunting.
