Agrius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Agrius is also a genus of moths (family Sphingidae).
In Greek mythology, Agrius was a son of Parthaon, King of Calydon. Agrius' sons (including Melanippus and Thersites) overthrew his brother, Oeneus but were themselves overthrown by Diomedes, who reinstalled Oeneus as King.
Agrius was also a son of Odysseus by Circe and a brother of Latinus and Telegonus, mentioned only in Hesiod's Theogony (1011f).
The city of Agrinion, the biggest city at Aetolia, took its name from Agrius (Αγριος).
