Althea was the wife of Oineus, King of Kalydona, the mother of Deianeira and Meleager. When her son turned seven days old, the goddesses of Destiny (the three Moirae) visited her and told her that her baby would die if the torch that was lighted in the house at the moment was burned down to the end. Immediately, Althea put off the torch and hid it in a chest. Meleager grew up and became a famous hero but during the quest for the Kalydon boar, Meleager killed by mistake his uncles, Althea?s brothers. Althea went berserk and threw the torch into the fire. Meleager died immediately. When Althea realized what had happened she hang herself in despair.
