Against Timarchus
Patroclus' father, to whom Achilles had promised safe return of his son, recalled in Achilles' lament.
For Achilles says somewhere in the course of his lament for the death of Patroclus, as recalling one of the greatest of sorrows, that unwillingly he has broken the promise he had given to Menoetius, the father of Patroclus;
Let not my bones be laid apart from thine, Achilles, but that thou and I may be In common earth, I beg that I may share That golden coffer which thy mother brought To be thine own, even as we in youth Grew up together in thy home.
Theogony
Son of Iapetus and Clymene, struck down by Zeus's thunderbolt and sent to Erebus for his outrageous presumption and pride.
But Menoetius was outrageous, and farseeing Zeus struck him with a lurid thunderbolt and sent him down to Erebus because of his mad presumption and exceeding pride.
