Medea and her children, fresco from the House of the Dioscuri in Pompeii, 1st century AD.

In Greek mythology, Mermerus (Ancient Greek: Μέρμερος, Mérmeros) and Pheres (Ancient Greek: Φέρης, Phéres) were the sons of Jason and Medea. They were killed either by the Corinthians or by Medea, for reasons that vary depending on the rendition. In one account, Mermerus was killed by a lioness while hunting.
