Twin brother of Aesepus, born to the nymph Abarbarea and Bucolion son of Laomedon, whom godlike Euryalus slew in the same rush after Dresus and Opheltius in *Iliad* 6.1
I
Euryalus slew Dresus and Opheltius, and went on after Aesepus and Pedasus, whom on a time the fountain-nymph Abarbarea bare to peerless Bucolion. Now Bucolion was son of lordly Laomedon, his eldest born, though the mother that bare him was unwed; he while shepherding his flocks had lain with the nymph in love, and she conceived and bare twin sons. Of these did Mecisteus' son strip the shining harness from their shoulders.2
