In Greek mythology, the Aloadae (/ˌæloʊˈeɪdiː/) or Aloads (Ancient Greek: Ἀλωάδαι Aloadai) were Otus or Otos (Ὦτος means "insatiate") and Ephialtes (Ἐφιάλτης "nightmare"),[1] Thessalian sons of Princess Iphimedia, wife of Aloeus, by Poseidon,[2] whom she induced to make her pregnant by going to the seashore and disporting herself in the surf or scooping seawater into her bosom.[3] From Aloeus, sometimes their real father, they received their patronymic, the Aloadae. They had a sister Pancratis (Pancrato) who was renowned for her great beauty.[4]
