Great King Oeneus is dead and has no living sons, leaving the Aetolian kingship without its former line.
“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. And with Thoas there came forty ships.”
