[15] On the death of Thersandros, when a second expedition was being mustered to fight Alexander at Troy, Peneleos was chosen to command it, because Tisamenus, the son of Thersandros, was not yet old enough. When Peneleos was killed by Eurypylos, the son of Telephus, Tisamenus was chosen king, who was the son of Thersandros and of Demonassa, the daughter of Amphiaraos. The Furies of Laios and Oedipus did not vent their wrath on Tisamenus, but they did on his son Autesion, so that, at the bidding of the oracle, he migrated to the Dorians.
