Editing Idas (son of Aphareus) (section)

==== Hyginus' version ====
The two beautiful daughters of [[Leucippus of Messenia|Leucippus]], [[Phoebe (Leucippid)|Phoebe]] and [[Hilaeira]] were promised brides of their cousins, Idas and Lynceus. Because of their beauty, the twins [[Castor and Pollux]] who were inflamed with love, carried off the maidens. Trying to recover their lost brides-to-be, the two Messenian princes, took to arms and joined the celebrated fight between them and their rival suitors. During the battle, Castor killed Lynceus while Idas, at his brother's death, forgot both the strife and bride, and started to bury his brother. When he was placing the bones in a funeral monument, Castor intervened and tried to prevent his raising of the monument, because he had won over him as if he were a woman. In anger, Idas pierced the thigh of Castor with the sword he wore. Others say that, as he was building the monument he pushed it on Castor and thus killed him. When they reported this to Pollux, he rushed up and overcame Idas in a single fight, recovered the body of his brother, and buried it.<ref>Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' [https://topostext.org/work/206#80 80] {{PD-notice}}</ref>
