Thoas
Andraimon was the husband of Gorge, the daughter of Oeneus and Althaea. Andraimon was the father of Thoas (Θόας).
Andraimon received the kingdom of Calydon, either because Oeneus was too old to rule, or because the aged king had died. However, his own reign was short, because his son Thoas became king of Calydon during the Trojan War.
As a former suitor of Helen, Thoas took forty ships to Troy. Thoas returned safely home after the Trojan War. When Neoptolemus banished Odysseus from Ithaca for the death of Penelope's suitors, Thoas offered Odysseus refuge in Calydon, and married his daughter to the exiled king. Thoas' daughter bore Leotophonus to Odysseus.
Thoas also had a son named Haemon. Nothing more is known about Thoas, but Thoas' grandson Oxylus won the fertile kingdom of Elis, when he helped the invasion of the Heraclids.
