| | Meleager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Greek mythology, Meleager was the son of Althaea and Oeneus and, according to some accounts father of Parthenopeus and Polydora. | | | A Parian Marble bust of Meleager 340-330 BC When Meleager was born, the Moirae predicted he would only live until a brand, burning in the family hearth, was consumed by fire. | | | Since Meleager had killed her two brothers, Althaea placed the brand back upon the fire, killing him. |

| | But these 'sons of Thestius 1' were Meleager's uncles, and his own mother's brothers, for she herself was a daughter of the same Thestius 1. | | | Meleager himself came to Hades, being seen there by Heracles 1 when he came to fetch the hound Cerberus 1. | | | Meleager's sister Gorge 2 married Andraemon 1, and had a son Thoas 2 who led the Aetolians against Troy. |

| | Phlexippus and Toxeus, the uncles of Meleager and Althea's brothers, beyond the rest opposed the gift, and snatched from the maiden the trophy she had received. | | | Althea, when her son was born, beheld the three Destinies, who, as they spun their fatal thread, foretold that the life of the child should last no longer than a brand then burning upon the hearth. | | | The fatal brand, which once she rescued from the flames, the brand which the Destinies had linked with Meleager's life, she brings forth, and commands a fire to be prepared. |

| | When Meleager received the skin, he gave it to Atalanta, but the sons of Thestius 1, who took part in the hunt representing the Curetes, did not approve Meleager's gesture, for in their simple minds they were of the opinion that a woman should not get a prize in the face of men. | | | This is the king of Phthia, who purified Peleus and gave him the third part of the country, along with his daughter Antigone 1. | | | One of the sons of Thestius 1, killed by Meleager disputing about the skin of the Calydonian Boar [Apd.1.7.10, 1.8.2]. |

| | A solitary red pawn explains the next-door line as a reference to the architecture of Uncle Meleager's house; surely she is right, and we may take it that there is a frieze in whatever room is next to the impluvium. | | | (It's notable, from a later perspective, that her not having a Bible at all was not a serious possibility.) Uncle Meleager, of course, would have stayed with the beauties of the Authorized (King James) Version of his childhood, as have many people since his time. | | | This is all very well for Admetus, but we are left with a problem: it is not Admetus but Pheres who sensibly refuses to go to Hades in the younger man's place. |
