He was king of Tegea and along with his brother, Anfidamante, participated in the journey of the Argonauts. He had twenty children, to whom Heracles asked for help, obtaining it, against the Hippoconids. In the company, the fate turned out to be infamous for the children of Cefeo: according to Diodorus Siculo, only three survived; According to others, no one came home.
