Polyphonte in the context of "Agrius and Oreius (mythology)"

Agrius (/ˈæɡriəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄγριος means "wild") in Greek mythology, is a name that may refer to:

• Agrius, one of the Giants, sons of Gaia. He, together with Thoon, was clubbed to death by Moirai with maces made from bronze, during the Gigantomachy, the battle of the Giants versus the Olympian gods.
• Agrius, son of King Porthaon of Calydon.
• Agrius, son of Polyphonte and a bear. He was the twin brother of Oreius. (see Agrius and Oreius)
• Agrius, one of the Centaurs who Heracles fought with.
• Agrius, son of Odysseus by Circe and a brother of Latinus and Telegonus, mentioned only in Hesiod's Theogony.
• Agrius, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers. He, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.
• Agrius, one of Actaeon's dogs.

The city of Agrinio, the largest city in Aetolia, took its name from Agrius.

In Greek mythology, Thrassa (Ancient Greek: Θρᾷσσα, romanized: Thrâissa, lit. 'Thracian woman'), was the daughter of Ares and Tereine, daughter of the river-god Strymon. Hipponous, son of Triballos (eponym or god of the Triballoi (Τριβαλλοί) tribe of Thrace), married her and they had a daughter called Polyphonte. This daughter scorned the activities of Aphrodite and went to the mountains as a companion and sharer of sports with Artemis. Thus, the goddess of love made her fall in love with a bear and drove her mad. Polyphonte eventually coupled with a bear and bore the ursine giants Agrius and Oreion.

In Greek mythology, Hipponous (Ancient Greek: Ἱππόνοος) referred to several people:

• Hipponous, the Olenian father of Capaneus and Periboea by Astynome. He was son of Iocles, grandson of Astacus and great-grandson of Hermes and Astabe, a daughter of Peneus.
• Hipponous, one of the fifty sons of Priam, the last Trojan whom Achilles killed before his death.
• Hipponous, an Achaean warrior killed by Hector.
• Hipponous, son of Triballus. He was the father of Polyphonte by Thrassa, the daughter of Ares and Tereine.
• Hipponous, who together with his father, son of Adrastus, were said to have thrown themselves into fire in obedience to an oracle of Apollo.
• Hipponous, the birth name of Bellerophon.

In Greek mythology, Oreios, also Oreius, Orius or Oreus, (Ancient Greek: Ὀρείου, Ὄρειον or Ὄρειος means ‘of the mountain’) may refer to the following personages:

• Oreius, father of Oxylus and Hamadryas, who, married to each other and became the parents of the hamadryads. He was probably a mountain-god of either Mount Othrys or Oita in Malis or else the Pindus mountain range.
• Orius, son of a bear and Polyphonte, and brother of Agrius. He was, like his brother, a powerful giant who did not honour the gods and who devoured men. He was turned into a bird by Hermes. (see Agrius and Oreius)
• Oreius, one of the centaurs who tried to steal the wine of Pholus and was killed by Heracles.
• Orius, son of Mycale and one of the Lapiths who fought against the Centaurs during the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia. He was killed by the centaur Gryneus who hurled a heavy blazing altar on him.
