“and held the mainland and dwelt on the shores over against the isles. Of these was Odysseuscaptain, the peer of Zeus
in counsel. And with him there followed twelve ships with vermilion prows. And the Aetolians were led by Thoas, AndraemonAnAn's son, even they that dwelt in Pleuron and Olenus and Pylene and Chalcis, hard by the sea, and rocky Calydon. For the sons of great-hearted OeneusOeOe were no more, neither did he himself still live, and fair-haired Meleager
was dead, to whom had commands been given that he should bear full sway among the Aetolians. And with Thoas there followed forty black ships.”
“and after them IdomeneusIdId and IdomeneusIdId' comrade MerionesMeMe, the peer of Enyalius, slayer of men, and after them EurypylusEuEu, the glorious son of EuaemonEvEv; and upsprang Thoas, son of AndraemonAnAn, and goodly Odysseus; all these were minded to do battle with goodly Hector
.”
“and the lord, the Shaker of Earth, spake to him, likening his voice to that of AndraemonAnAn's son Thoas, that in all Pleuron and steep Calydon was lord over the Aetolians, and was honoured of the folk even as a god: IdomeneusIdId, thou counsellor of the Cretans, where now I pray thee,”
“then were they seized with fear, and the spirits of all men sank down to their feet. Then among them spake Thoas, son of AndraemonAnAn, far the best of the Aetolians, well-skilled in throwing the javelin, but a good man too in close fight, and in the place of assembly could but few of the Achaeans surpass him, when the young men were striving in debate.”
