Iliad
Achaean contingent led by Diores, whose body lies near Peirous's after both leaders fall.
Thus the two corpses lay stretched on earth near to one another, the one leader of the Thracians and the other of the Epeans;
There were many to whom the Epeans owed chattels, for we men of Pylos were few and had been oppressed with wrong;
but three days afterwards the Epeans came in a body, many in number, they and their chariots, in full array, and with them the two Moliones in their armor, though they were still lads and unused to fighting.
Odyssey
A people ruling the region of Elis, mentioned in Odysseus's invented story.
it was not known, therefore, that I had killed him, but as soon as I had done so I went to a ship and besought the owners, who were Phoenicians, to take me on board and set me in Pylos or in Elis where the Epeans rule, giving them as much spoil as satisfied them.
The vessel made a quick passage to Pherai and thence on to Elis, where the Epeans rule.
