TYDEUS

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 494 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TYDEUS , in
Greek
  legend, son of Oeneus, king of Calydon, and Periboea. Having slain his uncle (or other relatives) he fled for
refuge
  to Argos, where Adrastus received him hospitably and purified him from the guilt of blood. Tydeus took
part
  in the expedition of the " Seven against Thebes," in which, although small of stature, he greatly distinguished himself. In the desperate
battle
  under the walls of the city, he was severely wounded by Melanippus, but managed to slay his adversary.
Athena
 , who held Tydeus in
special
  favour, hastened to the field of
battle
 , to heal him of his wound and bestow immortality upon him. But the sight of Tydeus, cleaving open the skull of his dead enemy and sucking out his brains, so disgusted her that she left him to his fate. Tydeus married Deipyle, the daughter of Adrastus, by whom he had a son, the famous
Diomedes
 , frequently called Tydides.
Homer
 , Iliad, xiv. 114132 ; Apollodorus iii. 6, 8 ; Schol. on
Pindar
 , Nemec, x. 12.
