Oeagrus

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.
