Meleager, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com |
 | | Meleager, however, was not in a disposition of accepting instructions regarding what he should do with the prize he had won, and in the course of the dispute that ensued he slew the sons of Thestius 1, giving the skin to Atalanta. |
| | Meleager, they assert, did not die because of those extraordinary reasons, but was instead killed in battle by Apollo or by the Curetes, who lived side by side with the Calydonians in Aetolia, a region in mainland Greece north of the Gulf of Patrae. |
| | When Meleager and the Curetes could not agree, war broke out between the two clans, although some believe that they were not quarreling for a boar skin but for the possession of territory, Thestius 1 being the master of Pleuron and the leader of the Curetes, and his rival Oeneus 2 the ruler of Calydon. |
