Evenus married Alcippe, daughter of Oenomaus. According to myth he is mortal king of Aetolia. He refuses to let his daughter Marpessa marry Idas a Messenian prince, because he wishes her to remain a virgin; but Idas abducts her, as they are both deeply in love. When Evenus cannot catch them, he commits suicide, jumping into the river, known by his name. now if he was a river god, his daughter should have been a naiad, thus infertile and very dangerous.
