From Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and MythologyFrom The Theogony of Apollodorus II
Going through the country of the Dryopes and being in lack of food, Hercules met Thiodamas driving a pair of bullocks; so he unloosed and slaughtered one of the bullocks and feasted. And when he came to Ceyx at Trachis he was received by him and conquered the Dryopes.
