Atreus
In Greek mythology, Atreus (/ˈeɪtriəs/; Greek: Ἀτρεύς) was a king of Mycenae in the Peloponnese, the son of Pelops and Hippodamia, and the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus. Collectively, his descendants are known as Atreidai or Atreidae.
Atreus and his twin brother Thyestes were exiled by their father for murdering their half-brother Chrysippus in their desire for the throne of Olympia. They took refuge in Mycenae, where they ascended to the throne in the absence of King Eurystheus, who was fighting the Heracleidae. Eurystheus had meant for their stewardship to be temporary, but it became permanent after his death in battle.
According to most ancient sources, Atreus was the father of Pleisthenes, but in some lyric poets (Ibycus, Bacchylides) Pleisthenides (son of Pleisthenes) is used as an alternative name for Atreus himself.
Atreides
The word Atreides refers to one of the sons of Atreus—Agamemnon and Menelaus. The plural form Atreidae or Atreidai refers to both sons collectively; in English, the form Atreides (the same form as the singular) is often used. This term is sometimes used for more distant descendants of Atreus.

As We Speak
by: AtarisIt's nice to meet someone with a future as fucked up as mine. So, I'm unpredictable is this some fucking sign of the times? I take pride in what I do, and I do it well. Call me easy-going but at least I have a finished story to tell cause tomorrow I just might be another face on your T.V. Being arrested for telephone fraud or beating someone to death with my guitar! But I know I will go far, I know I will go far enough to tell you that I love you but I know I'm stupid just because I run right back to you. I got your letters yesterday but I do have a thing to say so I'll nail em' to my wall and just pretend they'll go away! I don't wanna love you, but it's something that I love to do. So I'll say this one last thing and then I'm... gone away for good... Was I misunderstood? I guess that it's too late to save you now!
