O to Oresteia Orestes to Ozolian
The lord of Kalydon (Calydon) at the time of the Kalydonian (Calydonian) Hunt; the husband of Althaia.
Oineus is thought to be the first man to cultivate grapes; the half-brother of Laokoon (Laocoon) and the father of Meleagros (Meleager); when young Meleagros insisted on joining Iason (Jason) in the quest for the Golden Fleece, Oineus asked Laokoon to go along and protect the young hero.
