In one post-Homeric tradition recorded by Apollodorus, the son whom Odysseus left in Aetolia when he married the daughter of Thoas son of Andraemon and died there in old age — an ending wholly distinct from Homer's peaceful restoration on Ithaca and from the Telegonus tradition.1

Odysseus went to Aetolia to Thoas son of Andraemon, married his daughter, and left a son Leontophonus by her before he died in old age.2
