• Andraemon, possible father of another Oxylus.
• Andraemon, an Aetolian king and husband of Gorge of Calydon. By the latter, he became the father of Thoas. Andraemon succeeded his father-in-law Oeneus' power over Aetolia. He and his wife were buried in one tomb which was shown in the city of Amphissa.
• Andraemon, brother of Leonteus. He married Amphinome, a daughter of Pelias.
