Oeneus Name meanings & History

Derived from Greek mythology, Oeneus means "wine" or "vine". In Greek mythology he was a Calydonian king. He sent his son, the hero Meleager, out to find heroes to kill the Calydonian Boar, which was ravaging Calydon because Oeneus had forgotten to honor Artemis at the harvest ceremonies. So began the Calydonian Hunt during which the boar was killed by Atalanta and Meleager. The name Oeneus is almost exclusively used in reference to ancient Greek mythology and literature.
