Eurytus

Mortal king of Oechalia and famed archer-teacher; father of Iole (greek_apollod_iole, who already carries spouse->greek_apollod_hyllus). Authored as the named-but-absent father supplied by Iole's own prose ('Daughter of Eurytus'). His sons (Iphitus, Clytius, Toxeus, Deioneus, Molion) and wife Antiope daughter of Pylon are named in the tradition but have no corpus entries, so they are described here rather than wired.
