Procrustes' father was Poseidon.
a special bed on which he tied and tortured visitors.
Actually, there were five: Periphetes, Cercyon, Procrustes, Sciron, and Sinis.
He was human-looking by all accounts; he was merely monstrous inside.
Eros's father is ares.
Poseidon's father is Cronus.
But he is not god. His father - Poseidon
Procrustes was known as "The Stretcher".
Procrustes - short story - was created in 1994.
Nasty.
Procrustes put them on a "magic bed". If they were too tall to fit, he cut off their legs, if they were too short, he stretched them.
Procrustes rotation is used in community ecology to compare ordinations (where ordination is the ordering of community data to summarize variation, hence simplifying raw data). Procrustes rotation rescales, centres and rotates one ordination vs the other until they closely match. A match is determined by m^2, the symmetric Procrustes residual.
He was not necessarily tricked, but more or less forced. Procrustes invited Theseus into his home where he was fed. A servant told Theseus not to sleep in the bed. Theseus forced Procrustes to test his bed and he was killed.
Theseus faces a physical conflict with Procrustes, a bandit who forces travelers to fit his bed by stretching or amputating their limbs. This conflict highlights the brutality and tyranny of Procrustes, as Theseus must defeat him to end his cruel acts.
