Eetion

In Greek mythology, Eetion or Eëtion was the father of Andromache and seven sons, including Podes who was killed by Menelaus in the Trojan War (Book 17, Iliad). He was King of Thebe in Cilicia (Book 6 Iliad).

Iliad Book 6

There his wife ran up to meet him,
Andromache, daughter of great-hearted Eëtion, 
who'd included a large dowry with her.  
Eëtion had lived below the forests on Mount Placus, 
in Thebe, king of Cilician people.

Iliad Book 17

Among the Trojans was a rich, brave man called Podes,       
son of Eëtion, to whom Hector gave
a special honour among men as his companion,
his good friend at a feast. 

....

    "Hector,
which of the Achaeans will now fear you,
since you're afraid of Menelaus,
who so far has been a feeble spearman?
But all by himself he's snatched a body
from the Trojans and gone off with it.
He's killed your trusty comrade Podes,
Eëtion's son, a noble front-line warrior."
