He is also connected with Pieria, further west, or to the vicinity of the River Hebrus to the east, the latter was said to be called 'Oeagria', in his honor.
[citation needed] In the version that places Oeagrus in Pieria, his father is given as King Pierus and the nymph Methone.
[3] This can be explained by the following genealogy: (1) Atlas by Pleione — (2) Alcyone by Poseidon — (3) Aethusa by Apollo — (4) Linus or Eleuther — (5) Pierus by Methone — Oeager.
[5] Oeagrus and the Muse Calliope[6][7] or Clio[citation needed] or Polymnia[8] were the parents of Orpheus[9][10][11] and Linus.
[17] In Nonnus' Dionysiaca, the author states that Oeagrus quitted his city of Pimpleia on the Bistonian plain and followed the enterprise of Dionysos against the Indian people.
