      Euryte, and brother of Oeneus, king of Calydon in Aetolia, Alcathous, Melas, Leucopeus, and
      Sterope. He was father of six sons, of whom Thersites was one. These sons of Agrius deprived
      Oeneus of his kingdom, and gave it to their father; but all of them, with the exception of
      Thersites, were slain by Diomedes, the grandson of Oeneus. (<bibl n="Apollod. 1.7.10">Apollod.
       1.7.10</bibl>, <bibl n="Apollod. 1.8.5">8.5</bibl>, &amp;c.) Apollodorus places these events
      before the expedition of the Greeks against Troy, while Hyginus (<hi rend="ital">Fab,</hi>
      175, comp. 242 and Antonin. Lib. 37) states, that Diomedes, when he heard, after the fall of
      Troy, of the misfortune of his grandfather Oeneus, hastened back and expelled Agrius, who then
      put an end to his own life; according to others, Agrius and his sons were slain by Diomedes.
