Reading edition

Hom. Od. iv. 22;

ὁ δὲ προμολὼν ἴδετο κρείων Ἐτεωνεὺς,

ὀτρηρὸς θεράπων Μενελάου κυδαλίμοιο,

βῆ δ’ ἴμεν ἀγγελέων διὰ δώματα ποιμένι λαῶν.

So Il. xxiv. 473;

ἕταροι δ’ ἀπάνευθε καθείατο· τῷ δὲ δύ’ οἴω

ἥρως Αὐτομέδων τε, καὶ Ἄλκιμος ὄζος Ἄρηος,

ποίπνυον παρέοντε.

Eteôneus is κρείων, Automedôn is ἥρως, yet they are the Þegnas of Menelaos and Achilleus respectively.
