Little boar Meleager (died because his mother burned the charred piece of wood his life was tied to)

Little boar Olenias (died by his brothers hands)

Little boar Tydeus (died fighting against thebes)

Little boar Diomedes who carries their memory with that nickname, even if it's just his big sister who calls him that anymore

While we're on the topic and people demanded happy headcanons, I think everyone at home would've loved Tydeus (except those he started a fight with, his relationship with his parents is complicated)

But out of everyone? His little brother loved him the most.

Tydeus is his big role model, wants to be like him, clings to him allll the time, even if he may end up being taller than him, he's his world and his protection from the dark and scary world of the adults and the grief lingering in their empty home and the tense politics

Tydeus tells him stories and wrestles with him and teaches him how to hold the sword and sits with him when he cries and shows him all the best spots to hide and climb and prank others

Olenias crawls into his bed at night and as a baby got quiet when Tydeus was around when the nurses and even his parents couldn't keep him quiet

When Diomedes was born Tydeus saw his brothers eyes in his son 😊 youre welcome
