Otos (Epeier)

Otos ( Greek  Ὦτος ) is a figure in Greek mythology . He is the leader of the Epeier in the Trojan War and comes from the Elish port city of Kyllene , which was the reason for Pausanias and Strabo to commemorate him when describing the city. During the war, Otos is killed by Polydamas , the son of the Panthoos , and robbed of his armor.
