Andraemon

In Greek mythology the name Andraemon (/ænˈdriːmən/; Ancient Greek: Ἁνδραίμων Andraimōn) may refer to:

• Andraemon, son of Oxylus and husband of Dryope.[1][2]
• Andraemon, father of Oxylus and thus grandfather of the precedent.[3]
• Andraemon, an Aetolian king and husband of Gorge of Calydon. By the latter, he became the father of Thoas. Andraemon succeeded his father-in-law Oeneus' power over Aetolia. He and his wife were buried in one tomb which was shown in the city of Amphissa.[4][5][6]
• Andraemon, brother of Leonteus. He married Amphinome, a daughter of Pelias.[7]
• Andraemon, one of the suitors of Penelope, from Dulichium.[8]
• Andraemon, a son of King Codrus. He participated in the colonization of Asia Minor and drove the Carians out of the city of Lebedus. His tomb was shown near Colophon.[9] Mimnermus related that Andraemon was a native of Pylos and founder of Colophon.[10]

Similarly Andraemonides was a patronymic, frequently used to refer to Thoas, son of Andraemon and Gorge.[11]
