[Greek heroic] The brother of Atreus and son of Pelops and Hippodamia. He seduced his brother's wife and also contrived a situation which led to Atreus slaying his own son. Atreus took revenge by inviting Thyestes to a banquet in which the limbs of his own two sons, slain by Atreus, were served as a dish.
