In Greek mythology, Admetus (/ædˈmiːtəs/; Greek: ἌδμητοςAdmetos, "untamed", "untameable") was a king of Pherae in Thessaly, succeeding his father Pheres after whom the city was named. Admetus was one of the Argonauts and took part in the Calydonian Boar hunt. His wife Alcestis offered to substitute her own death for his.
