Legendary hero named among Nestor's former companions
For never yet have I seen, nor shall I see, such men as Peirithous and Dryas shepherd of peoples, and Caeneus and Exadius and godlike Polyphemus, and Theseus son of Aegeus, like to the immortals.
Iliad
Shepherd of his people, named among Nestor's past companions, recalled by Nestor as an example of heroes who once heeded his counsel.
Never again can I behold such men as Peirithoos and Dryas shepherd of his people, or as Kaineus, Exadios, godlike Polyphemus, and Theseus son of Aegeus, peer of the immortals.
