A king of the city of Thebes and the father of Andromakhe (Andromache).
When Andromakhe married the Trojan hero, Hektor (Hector), she was an orphan because Akhilleus (Achilles) had killed her father, Eetion, and her seven brothers; Akhilleus honored Eetion by burning his body without stripping his armor and then piling a burial mound over his remains; the nymphs of the mountains planted elm trees over the mound; Eetion’s wife was captured by Akhilleus and returned for ransom but Artemis killed her with a shower of arrows.
