What is "hyettus"

In Greek mythology, Hyettus ( - Hyettos) was a native of Argos thought to have been the first man ever to have exacted vengeance over adultery: he reputedly killed Molurus, whom he had caught with his wife, and was sent into exile. King Orchomenus of Boeotia received him hospitably and assigned to him some land, where the village Hyettus was subsequently founded and named after him.

Hyettus ( - Hyettos) was a village in Boeotia, ancient Greece. It was located near the Lake Copais, at 7 stades from Olmones and 20 stades from Cyrtones. There was a temple of Heracles in the village. The village was named after the mythological figure Hyettus from Argos, who fled to this area after he killed his adulterous wife.
