Atreus

Atreus is a name from Greek mythology, traditionally explained as “fearless,” although the ancient derivation is not completely secure. In the myths, Atreus is a king of Mycenae and the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus. His family’s stories involve violence and conflict, so the mythological reference is more complex than the appealing meaning alone suggests.

The God of War games provide a separate modern association with a character named Atreus. Families may encounter different pronunciations through the games and through classical references. If mythology is the main attraction, reading a little about the original character can help distinguish the ancient story from the later fictional use.
