Tyro's father Salmoneus was the brother of [[Athamas]] and [[Sisyphus]]. She was married to her uncle [[Cretheus]],<ref>[[Homer]], ''[[Odyssey]]'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hom.+Od.+11.+236&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0136:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Tyro 11. 236–7], but [[Hesiod]], ''[[Catalogue of Women|Ehoiai]]'' fr. 30 (Merkelbach-West) says she fought with Salmoneus and was rescued by Zeus and led to the house of Cretheus, where she was raised. [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.9.8&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Tyro 1.9.8] confirms this.</ref> King of [[Iolcus]] but Tyro loved the river god Enipeus who refused her advances. One day, Poseidon filled with lust for Tyro, disguised himself as Enipeus and from their union were born Pelias and Neleus, twin boys. Tyro exposed her sons on a mountain to die, but they were found by a herdsman who raised them as his own. When the twins reached adulthood, they found Tyro and killed her stepmother, [[Sidero]], for having mistreated their mother (Salmoneus married Sidero when [[Alcidice]] died). Sidero hid at the temple of [[Hera]] but Pelias killed her anyway, causing Hera's undying hatred of Pelias – and her glorious patronage of [[Jason]] and the [[Argonauts]] in their long quest for the [[Golden Fleece]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Hamilton|first=Edith|author-link=Edith Hamilton|year=1969|orig-year=1940|chapter=Brief Myths Arranged Alphabetically|title=[[Mythology (book)|Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes]]|edition=Renewal|publisher=[[New American Library|Mentor Books]]|location=New York|page=313|isbn=0-451-62803-9}}</ref> Pelias' half brother Aeson, the son of Tyro and Cretheus, was the father of Jason.<ref>Apollodorus, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.9.8&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Tyro 1.9.8] adds that Pelias refused thereafter to honor Hera</ref> Soon after, Tyro married Sisyphus, her paternal uncle and had two children.
