Agenor: Son of Pleuron and father of Thestius, husband of Epicaste.
Epicaste: Daughter of Calydon, wife of Agenor.
Agenor, a son of Pleuron and Xanthippe, and grandson of Aetolus. Epicaste, the daughter of Calydon, became by him the mother of Porthaon and Demonice (Apollod. i. 7.7). According to Pausanias (iii. 13.5), Thestius, the father of Leda, is likewise a son of this Agenor.
Γιος του Αιτωλού και της Προνόης (Απολλόδ. 1,7,6).
Γιος του Θέστιου.
Γιος του Οιβάλου, πατέρας της Πηνελόπης, συζύγου του Οδυσσέα.
Son of Thestius, hunts the Calydonian boar, in the Argo.
Evippus, (Euippos). A son of Thestius and Eurythemis, who, together with his brothers, was killed by Meleager. (Apollod. i. 7.10, 8.3)
Demonice, (Demonike), a daughter of Agenor and Epicaste, who became by Ares the mother of Euenus, Molus, Pylus, and Thestius. (Apollod. i. 7.7.) Hesiod (ap. Schol. ad Hm. II. xiv. 200) calls her Demodoce.
Cycnus (Kuknos). A son of Apollo by Thyria or Hyria, the daughter of Amphinomus. He was a handsome hunter, living in the district between Pleuron and Calydon, and although beloved by many, repulsed all his lovers, and only one, Cycnus, persevered in his love. Cycnus at last imposed upon him three labours, viz. to kill a lion without weapons, to catch alive some monstrous vultures which devoured men, and with his own hand to lead a bull to the altar of Zeus. Phyllius accomplished these tasks, but as, in accordance with a request of Heracles, he refused giving to Phyllius a bull which he had received as a prize, Cycnus was exasperated at the refusal, and leaped into lake Canope, which was henceforth called after him the Cycnean lake. His mother Thyria followed him, and both were metamorphosed by Apollo into swans (Antonin. Lib. 12). Ovid (Met. vii. 371, &c.), who relates the same story, makes the Cycnean lake arise from Hyria melting away in tears at the death of her son.
