Everes

Everes appears in classical-derived genealogical traditions rather than as a narrative protagonist. In the Theban strand Everes is named as the mortal father (often styled a shepherd) of Tiresias by the nymph Chariclo, situating Tiresias within Theban pastoral society. In a separate tradition recorded in genealogical lists, an Everes is enumerated as one of the sons of King Pterelaus of Taphos, a member of that island royal house. The sources do not specify a single unified origin for these attestations and they are best treated as distinct eponymous bearers of the same name used in different local genealogies.

The sources give no physical description beyond social or filial labels. In accounts of Tiresias’s parentage Everes is described by role as the shepherd Everes (i.e., a Theban pastoral father). In the Taphian genealogical lists Everes is presented as a princely son among the offspring of Pterelaus. No bodily or iconic attributes are recorded in the supplied material.

No supernatural abilities or recurring mythic deeds are attributed to Everes in the cited sources. His functions in the record are genealogical: fathering Tiresias (with the nymph Chariclo) in Theban tradition and appearing as a named son in Pterelaus’s Taphian lineage. The supplied materials do not ascribe magic, prophetic power, or ritual practice to Everes himself.
