Passage preview

Book 2 · Passage 49

Thoas, son of Andraemon, commanded the Aetolians, who dwelt in Pleuron, Olenus, Pylene, Chalcis by the sea, and rocky Calydon, for the great king Oeneus had now no sons living, and was himself dead, as was also goldenhaired Meleager, who had been set over the Aetolians to be their king.
