Eurytus

Sole named lord of atlas city oechalia (Malis / Catalogue triad with Tricca and Ithome): Homer calls it "Oechalia, city of Oechalian Eurytus" and has Thamyris leave "the house of Eurytus the Oechalian"; Apollodorus makes him prince of Oechalia whose refusal of Iole brings Heracles' sack from Trachis; Apollonius names him father of the Oechalian warders Clytius and Iphitus. Not a multi-reign list — his sons die with him in the sack tradition and do not succeed. Homonym and place care: ≠ eurytus-epeian, eurytus-hermes, eurytus-giant; Melaneus (Paus. 4.2.2–4.3.10) founds Messenian Oechalia and is not this city's spine; Paus. 4.2.3 records ancient rivalry (Thessalian Eurytium vs Euboean Scius/Eretria vs Messenian Carnasium) over which Oechalia was Eurytus's — this reign follows the atlas pin to the Homeric Malian polis, not the Messenian or Euboean claimants.1Homer · Pseudo-Apollodorus · Apollonius of Rhodes — Il. 2.729–733, 2.594–600; Od. 8.224–228; Apollod. 2.6.1, 2.7.7; Arg. 1.86–89
