In Greek mythology, Laius (/ˈleɪəs, ˈlaɪəs/ L(A)Y-əs; Ancient Greek: Λάϊος, romanized: Láïos) is a Cretan man who attempted to steal from Zeus, the king of gods, and was punished for it. He was transformed into bird for attempting to steal from him.
The Cretan Laius and three other men, Cerberus, Aegolius and Celeus entered the sacred cave of Zeus in Crete where the young god had been born and brought up with the aim to steal some of the sacred honey produced there by Zeus's former bee nurses.
