*A one-eyed man from [[Aetolia]], son of Haemon (himself son of [[Thoas]]) or of [[Andraemon]]. He was exiled from Aetolia on account of unintentional homicide; his victim was either his own brother Therimus or a certain Alcidocus, son of Scopius. In his wanderings, he met [[Temenus]], son of [[Aristomachus]], on a road. Temenus had been told by an [[oracle]] to look out for a man with three eyes, and Oxylus, having one eye himself and riding a horse or mule with two more, matched that description. Oxylus then, as the [[oracle]] had recommended, accompanied Temenus and his brother, [[Cresphontes]], in their invasion of the [[Peloponnesus]]. For his aid, Oxylus received [[Elis]], a fertile land, as his own; others say, though, that he had to win it. He had been wanting the land for himself for a while and, suspecting that the Dorians would not give it to him, led them through [[Arcadia]] and not Elis, so they would not be able to observe the goodliness of it. Nevertheless, he did have to fight over the land with the Dorian [[Dius]]. The latter proposed that each side chose a single soldier to represent his army. Degmenus, an archer, fought for Dius and Pyraechmes, a slinger, for Oxylus; the latter won, and Oxylus received Elis as his domain. In accordance with a prophecy of the oracle, he brought in Agorius, great-grandson of [[Orestes]] and thus a descendant of [[Pelops]], as a co-founder. The land became prosperous under him. By Pieria, Oxylus had two sons: Aetolus, who died before his parents, and [[Laias]], who inherited the kingdom after him.<ref>''[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Bibliotheca]]'' 2. 8. 3</ref><ref>[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], ''Description of Greece'', 5. 3. 7. - 5. 4. 5</ref> |
