Menoe'tius

3. A son of Actor and Aegina, a step-brother of Aeacus, and husband of Polymele, by whom he became the father of Patroclus. He resided at Opus, and took part in the expedition of the Argonauts (Hom. Il. 11.785, 16.14, 18.326). Some accounts call his mother Damocrateia, and a daughter of Aegina; and instead of Polymele they call his wife Sthenele or Periapis (Apollod. 3.13.8; Schol. ad Pind. Ol. 9.107; Strab. p. 425; comp. V. Fl. 1.407; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 112). When Patroclus, during a game, had slain the son of Amphidamas, Menoetius fled with him to Peleus in Phthia, and had him educated there (Hom. Il. 11.770, 23.85, &c.; Schol. ad Pind. Ol. 9.104). Menoetius was a friend of Heracles. (Diod. 4.39.)

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.
