Legendary hero named among Nestor's former companions

Shield of Heracles
Lapith prince depicted leading his people against the Centaurs in the shield's ekphrasis.
And there was the strife of the Lapith spearmen gathered round the prince Caeneus and Dryas and Peirithous, with Hopleus, Exadius, Phalereus, and Prolochus, Mopsus the son of Ampyce of Titaresia, a scion of Ares, and Theseus, the son of Aegeus, like the deathless gods.
