Thoas
Family: The Greeks · Role: chariot racer · First appears: Book IV · Part 4
In Book IV, Thoas entered the chariot race among the Greek rivals Menelaus, Eurypylus, Eumelus and Polypoetes; Eumelus’ team surged ahead, with “the team of godlike Thoas” close behind. After Thoas and Eurypylus fell from their cars, Podaleirius treated their wounds.
By Book VI, Thoas had joined Teucer, Idomeneus, Meriones and Thrasymedes in rallying to defend the Atreus’ sons against Eurypylus. In the fighting, he wounded Paris in the right thigh, and Paris withdrew to retrieve his bow. Thoas also had Echemmon as a friend; Echemmon was wounded by Eurypylus’ henchman and killed by Eurypylus. In Book XI, Thoas killed Lamus and Lyncus.
