	Thoas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		He was a former suitor of Helen of Troy and led a group of forty ships for the Aetolians, one of the larger contigents.
		In the Iliad it states that he received his lordship because the previous dynasty of Oineus and Meleagros had perished, so the power to rule was bestowed on him.
		He was one of the nine volunteers to fight Hector in one on one combat, but lost to the drawing of lots to Telamonian Aias.

		Meleagros was the first to plunge his javelin into it and by general agreement was accorded the reward of valour, which consisted of the skin of the animal.
		Meleagros, however, was deeply incensed both because of the love which he bore Atalante and because of the dishonour shown her, and espoused the cause for Atalante.
		Meleagros assigned the flesh of the boar to the heroes, keeping the head and the hide as his privilege.

		According to the most common version of this story, the Fates told Meleagros’ mother Althaia that her new-born son’s life would end when a certain log was burned to ashes; Althaia prudently hid this log away in order to save her son.
		But after Meleagros killed a monstrous boar that was threatening his homeland, he argued with his uncles over who should receive the animal’s skin as a trophy, and killed them.
		Many attempts were made to persuade Meleagros to return: first the elders and priests of the city approached him, then his parents and sisters, and his dearest friends, all without success; finally, his wife was able to convince him to return and fight.

		In 1968 Miklos Boskovits rated the Warsaw painting among the works of a Florentine painter, active at the turn of XIV and XV centuries, called Maestro di Cracovia (two of his other cassone paintings are found in the Czartoryski Museurn in Cracow) or Maestro di Carlo Durazzo.
		One of them is Meleagros (as in the hunting scene), the second, however, is difficult to identify.
		Above the principal scene there are: a meditating monk on the right and an unidentified woman (Adanta?) 50n the left, touching a circle, with a leopard sitting in it, with her palm The above mentioned predator was used in Italy for hunting; it is often shown together with the hanters or during attacking other animals.

	The Swan and Meleagris
		Meleagros, having killed the boar, gets the hand of Atalanta, who had been the first to plant an arrow into the boar.
		The myth seems to say that Meleagros by moving west (leaving the Egyptian meridian represented by his mother) and hitting the boar, got control of the meridian of Atlantis and came into contact with the Ecliptic and the Equator.
		Meleagros died much like Phaethon and his sisters weep inordinately over his tomb as the sisters of Phaethon weep inordinately over the tomb of Phaethon.

	BOOKNINE
		Paradeigma of Meleagros (635-728): Phoinix next recounts a somewhat lengthy but pointed story about a warrior, Meleagros, drawn from the mythological story of the war among the Aitolians and Kouretes arising from the Kalydonian Boar Hunt.
		Meleagros withdrew from the fighting because of anger against his mother Althaie, who had prayed for his death because he had killed her brother (689-90).
		Kleopatre is the only one successful in persuading her husband, Meleagros, in putting on his armor and returning to battle: Homer is here brilliantly foreshadowing Achilleus's return to the war because of Patroklos: the dead body of Patroklos becomes the ultimate persuasive force.

		The son of Oineus and Althaia; the husband of Kleopatra (Cleopatra).
		When Iason (Jason) was organizing the quest for the Golden Fleece, Meleagros was very young but very strong; his father, Oineus, allowed Meleagros to go on the quest on the condition that his half-brother, Laokoon (Laocoon), go along to protect him; thus Laokoon and Meleagros were both Argonauts;

	Iliad: Book 9, commentary
		The centerpiece of his speech is the long story of Meleagros (9.529-99) and the war between the Aitolians and the Kouretes.
		Meleagros, Oineus’ son, assembled many men to join the Aitolians in hunting the boar (9.543-46), and he succeeded in killing it (9.543).
		In fact, the story of Meleagros and Phoinix’s whole speech are riddled with ironies and contradictions that undermine his point by showing how widespread anger is, and how difficult quarrels are to resolve.

	Pretty Garbage: September 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		By the examples given of Chryses and Meleagros, a person who is offended is clearly expected to relent when supplicated and offered gifts.
		In direct contrast to Chryses' admirable model of behavior, the story of Meleagros, narrated by Phoinix in book 9, establishes the counter example: what happens when the offended party does not behave as Chryses, but holds onto his anger too long.
		Meleagros rejected the initial supplications of his family and friends and refused to defend his city until it began burning and thus lost out on the time accorded by gifts.

		In anger at his mother Althaia, Meleagros, who is fighting on behalf of the Aitolians in a war against the Kouretes, withdraws from the war lying apart with his Kleopatra, his wife; his presence lacking, the Aitolians begin to lose.
		Clearly, Phoinix is trying to pull Achilleus into the war by presenting Meleagros [a character in a similar situation to Achilleus] and talking about the consequences Meleagros faced [he did not get any of the gifts] because he did not help his countrymen sooner.
		In the original story, Meleagros is killed by his mother in revenge for her brothers whom he killed.

		"Abdominal complications from cocaine abuse are life-threatening and require emergency surgery," said Luke Meleagros, of North Middlesex University Hospital, in Britain's Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.

		"As the number of cocaine abusers rises, we expect the accompanying health problems to spread across the country," Meleagros said in a statement.
