1. Bellerophon's grandfather is known from another story, where he is a criminal who ends up in the Tartaros where he must drag a huge rock over a mountain for eternity. What's his name?

Answer: Sisyphus

A perfect punishment for him. He was a pure criminal: he tortured his own people, locked up the Death in his own castle and even fooled Hades. Then you can count on an unhappy afterlife, I guess.
2. One day he flees to Argos when he accidentally kills his brother. After an incident king Proitos wants to get rid off him. What happened?

Answer: The queen fell in love with him

After the queen was turned down by Bellerophon, she told Proitos that Bellerophon had tried to seduce her.
