throng of the Danaans." And finally, in Book 19, Thoas is one of the small delegations of Greeks who Odysseus took with him to the tent of Agamemnon, to bring back the many gifts Agamemnon had pledged to give Achilles, in reparation for his taking Briseis. Other sources Two events concerning Thoas's involvement in the Trojan War, occurred after the events covered in the Iliad, and are given in other later sources. In the Little Iliad, a poem in the Trojan War Cycle covering the war from the death of Achilles, to the building of the Wooden Horse, Thoas wounds Odysseus, so as to make him unrecognizable on a spy mission inside Troy. Several late sources name Thoas as was one of the Greek warriors who were hidden inside the Wooden Horse. Thoas is also mentioned in the Odyssey, in a war story told by Odysseus. After the war Thoas was one of the few Greek leaders to return from the war unharmed. According to some accounts he returned to Aetolia where, presumably, he resumed his rule, while according to others Thoas settled in Italy, in the land of the Brutti. Local tradition associated Thoas with the Greek city of Amphissa, the main city of Western Locris. The geographer Pausanias reports seeing a tomb at Amphissa, which was said to be the tomb of Thoas' parents Andraemon and Gorge, and a bronze statue of Athena in her temple on the acropolis of Amphissa, that was said to have been brought back from Troy by Thoas as a spoil of war. Apollodorus reports that according to some, after Odysseus was exiled from Ithaca in punishment for his killing the suitors of Penelope, he sought refuge with Thoas in Aetolia. There he married Thoas' daughter, had a son Leontophonus with her, and died of old age.
