He ran a race at Olympia, against his brothers Aetolus and Paeon, winning his father's kingdom. Epeius' other siblings were Eurycyda and possibly Naxos. He was married to Anaxiroe, daughter of Coronus, and had one daughter, Hyrmine. King Oenomaus of Pisa was his contemporary. From him, the Epei derived their name.
