Prokroustes, "the stretcher [who hammers out the metal]", was a son of #Poseidon who had a house on the Sacred Way between #Athens and #Eleusis. He invited every traveller to spend the night but when they lay down in his iron bed, he beat them with his smith's hammer, to stretch them to fit. Pseudo-Apollodoros & Hyginus add that if the guest proved too tall, Prokroustes would amputate the excess length. He was eventually slain by his half-brother #Theseus.
