Oileus

2. A son of Hodoedocus and Laonome, grandson of Cynus, and great-grandson of Opus, was a king of the Locrians, and married to Eriopis, by whom he became the father of Ajax, who is hence called Oilides or Oiliades. Oileus was also the father of Medon by Rhene. (Hom. Il.2.527, 725, 13.697, 712; Propert. 4.1. 117.) He is also mentioned among the Argonauts. (Apollod. 5.10.8 ; Apollon. 1.74; Orph. Argon. 191.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
