Nyctimus was the youngest son of Lycaon 2 or perhaps the eldest. He succeeded his father on the throne and was himself succeeded by Arcas 1, son of Zeus and Callisto. Yet others have said that it was he who was cut up by his father and served to Zeus as a meal. By an unknown woman Nyctimus had a son Periphetes 4; and by Arcadia 2 he had a daughter Phylonome [Apd.3.8.1; Nonn.18.22; Pau.8.3.1ff., 8.4.1, 8.24.1; Plu.PS.36].

Oeagrus joined Dionysus 2 in his Indian campaign at the time Orpheus was still a little child. But this Thracian king is best remembered for being the father of the great minstrel Orpheus, whom Calliope, the eldest of the MUSES, bore him; by her he was also father of Linus 4, who taught Heracles 1 to play the lyre and was killed by his disciple with a blow of the lyre. Oeagrus, some say, was also father of Marsyas, whom he had by Hyagnis, the inventor of the music of the double pipes. Oeagrus was son either of Ares or of Charops 4, the man who told Dionysus 2 of the plot of Lycurgus 1 against him [Apd.1.3.2; Dio.3.65.6; Hyg.Fab.14, 165; Nonn.10.233, 13.428, 22.190].

According to some his children by Batia 2 were: Arene, Tyndareus (father of Helen), Hippocoon 2, Icarius 1, and Pirene 2; but others say that he had Tyndareus, Arene, and Hippocoon 2 by Gorgophone 2 (daughter of Perseus 1) [see also Sparta] [Apd.3.10.4; Pau.2.2.3, 3.1.4, 4.2.4].

Oeneus 2. When Oeneus 2 was King of Calydon in Aetolia he received a vine-plant from Dionysus 2 but, while sacrificing the first fruits of the annual crops of the country to all the gods Oeneus 2 forgot Artemis. Then the goddess, angry at his negligence, sent a boar (now known as the Calydonian Boar) of a huge size and strength, which prevented the land from being sown and destroyed the cattle and the people. In order to get rid of this ravaging beast, King Oeneus 2 assembled the noblest men of Hellas, who are now known as the CALYDONIAN HUNTERS, and promised to give the boar's skin as a prize to him who should kill it. Later, after the death of his son Tydeus 2 during the war of the SEVEN AGAINST THEBES, Oeneus 2, now bereft of children, saw his throne in Calydon shaken; it was then that Thersites and his brothers (Onchestus 1, Prothous 1, Celeutor, Lycopeus, and Melanippus 1), deeming that the time had come to take power through sedition, deposed their uncle King Oeneus 2; and being afraid of their own deeds, they also imprisoned and tormented him, apparently believing that cruelty would protect them. Having thus seized power they put their own father Agrius 3 on Oeneus 2's throne. However, Tydeus 2's son Diomedes 2 appeared in Calydon accompanied by Alcmaeon 1, the future leader of the EPIGONI against Thebes, and assisted by him seized back what belonged to his grandfather Oeneus 2. Diomedes 2 did not restore the power to Oeneus 2 because he was too old; so the king's son-in-law Andraemon 1 (for he was married to Gorge 2) became king and Diomedes 2 took Oeneus 2 with him to Argos. But in Arcadia, as it is told, Onchestus 1 and Thersites lay in wait for the old man and killed him. Diomedes 2 brought the corpse to Argos and buried him in Oenoe, called after the old king. Oeneus 2 was son of Porthaon (son of Agenor 6, son of Pleuron, son of Aetolus 2, son of King Endymion of Elis, whom Selene loved) and Euryte 2 (daughter of Hippodamas 1, son of Achelous, one of the RIVER GODS). Oeneus 2 had children by Althaea: Deianira 1, Meleager, Toxeus 1, Thyreus, Clymenus 1, Gorge 2, Ageleus, Periphas 5, Eurymede 2, and Melanippe 5. Of these Deianira 1 married Heracles 1; Thyreus, Periphas 5, Ageleus, and Clymenus 1 were killed in battle against the Curetes, and Eurymede 2, Melanippe 5 are those known as the MELEAGRIDS. By either Periboea 5 or Gorge 2, he became father of Tydeus 2, one of the SEVEN AGAINST THEBES and father of Diomedes 2. By a concubine (Woman 7 Concubine), Oeneus 2 had a daughter Mothone, after whom was renamed a city formerly called Pedasus. Finally by an unknown woman Oeneus 2 had a son Olenias said to have been killed by Tydeus 2 [Apd.1.7.10, 1.8.1-5; Hes.CWE.98; Lib.Met.2; Pau.4.35.1, 7.4.1].

Oenoclus. When the Aeanianians had been driven out of their country by the LAPITHS they came to the Cirrhaean plain under the leadership of King Oenoclus. But since great droughts befell them there, in accordance with an oracle they stoned him [Plu.GQ.26].
Oenoe 1. See NYMPHS.
Oenoe 2 was born in the land of the Pygmies and, being too proud to honour Hera or Artemis, she was turned into a crane. Oenoe 2 had married Nicodamas, and had by him a son Mopsus 3 [Lib.Met.16; Ov.Met.6.90].
Oenomaus 1. This is the king of Pisa (in Elis) who used to put to death his daughter's suitors and nail their heads to his house; for an oracle had said that he would die whenever his daughter Hippodamia 3 should marry. This is what he did: Oenomaus 1 offered as a prize to the suitors the hand of his daughter, and each suitor had to take up Hippodamia 3 on his own chariot and flee as far as the Isthmus of Corinth. Then Oenomaus 1 pursued him and if he overtook him he killed him; and only if the suitor were not overtaken, he was given Hippodamia 3 to wife. Applying this method he slew many suitors (the SUITORS OF HIPPODAMIA 3 were at least nineteen), and after killing them he cut off their heads and nailed them to his house so that all could learn how dear his daughter was to him. But when Pelops 1 came to compete for the hand of Hippodamia 3, he bribed Oenomaus 1's charioteer Myrtilus, who sabotaged the king's chariot, so that he was dragged to death. Others have said that Oenomaus 1 killed himself disheartened by grief. In any case after he died Pelops 1 took his kingdom [see Pelops 1]. Oenomaus 1 was son of Ares, either by Sterope 3 (one of the PLEIADES), or by Harpina, daughter of Asopus (one of the RIVER GODS); others say he was son of Alxion. Likewise some say that his wife was Sterope 3, whereas others say that it was Evarete, sister of Danae. In any case by one of them he had Hippodamia 3, Leucippus 4 (who loved Daphne 1), and Dysponteus (founder of Dyspontium in Elis). By other women Oenomaus 1 fathered Hippodamus 2 and Alcippe 5. It has been said that Oenomaus 1 loved his daughter Hippodamia 3 too much and that he committed incest with her [Apd.Ep.2.4-7; Dio.4.73.2ff.; Hyg.Ast.2.21; Hyg.Fab.14, 84, 253; Pau.5.1.6, 5.22.6, 6.22.4, 20.1.1; Plu.PS.40; Stat.Theb.6.346].

Oenopion 1 sailed from Crete and settled in Chios (the Aegean island off the coast of Ionia in Asia Minor), where Orion came wishing to wed his daughter Merope 3. Oenopion 1, however, made him drunk, put out his eyes as he slept, and cast him on the beach. Later Orion was healed by the sun's rays, and having recovered his sight he hastened against Oenopion 1, but he was out of reach, since Poseidon had made ready a house under the earth which Hephaestus had constructed. Oenopion 1 was son of Ariadne, his father being either Dionysus 2 or Theseus. Oenopion 1's wife Helice 3 bore him children: Merope 3, Talos 4, Evanthes 1, Melas 5, Salagus, and Athamas 2 [Apd.1.4.3-4; Apd.Ep.1.9; Dio.5.79.1; Hes.Ast.4; Hes.CWE.86; Parth.20; Pau.7.4.8-9; Plu.The.20.2].
