:''This article is about the father of Andromache. For other usages, see Eetion (disambiguation).'' In Greek mythology, Eëtion ( ''Ēetíōn'' (:ɛ͜ɛ.etí.ɔ͜ɔn)) was the king of the Cilician Thebe. He is the father of Andromache, wife of Hector,〔Hyginus, ''Fabulae'', 123〕 and of seven sons, including Podes. In Book 6 of the ''Iliad'', Andromache relates that Achilles killed Eëtion and his seven sons in a raid on Thebe,〔Homer, ''Iliad'', 6. 414 ff〕 but in Book 17, Podes appears and is killed by Menelaus.〔''Iliad'', 17. 575 ff〕 This inconsistency on Homer's part may be an implication that some traditions gave Eëtion eight sons. His wife is never named, but Andromache relates that she was captured in the same raid in which Eëtion was killed, and died of sickness in Troy following her release.〔''Iliad'', 6. 425-429〕 ==See also== *List of Greek mythological figures 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eetion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
