Nestor remembers Pirithous among the mightiest men ever born, fighters who utterly overthrew the fiercest mountain tribes.
“Never again can I behold such men as Pirithous and Dryas shepherd of his people, or as Caeneus, Exadius, godlike Polyphemus, and Theseus son of Aegeus, peer of the immortals. These were the mightiest men ever born upon this earth: mightiest were they, and when they fought the fiercest tribes of mountain savages they utterly overthrew them.”
Pirithous takes revenge on the shaggy mountain savages and drives them from Pelion to the Aithices on the day Polypoetes is born.
“Those that held Argissa and Gyrtone, Orthe, Elone, and the white city of Oloosson, of these brave Polypoetes was leader. He was son of Pirithous, who was son of Jove himself, for Hippodameia bore him to Pirithous on the day when he took his revenge on the shaggy mountain savages and drove them from Mt. Pelion to the Aithices. But Polypoetes was not sole in command, for with him was Leonteus, of the race of Mars, who was son of Coronus, the son of Caeneus. And with these there came forty ships.”
Jove recalls Pirithous as his son by Ixion’s wife and a peer of gods in counsel.
