Proetus
In Greek mythology, Proetus (/ˈpriːtəs/; Ancient Greek: Προῖτος Proitos) may refer to the following personages:
- Proetus, king of Argos and Tiryns, son of Abas and twin brother of Acrisius.[1]
- Proetus, a prince of Corinth as the son of Prince Thersander, son of King Sisyphus. He was the father of Maera who died a maiden.[2] Scholiasts on the Odyssey confound him with the Argive Proetus.[3]
- Proetus of Thebes, eponym of the Proetid Gates,[4] and father of Galanthis.[5]
- Proetus of Nauplia, a son of Nauplius I and father of Lernus.[6]
- Proetus, a son of Agenor (?). It is unclear whether Stephanus[7] is referring to a son of Agenor named Proetus, or to the Argive Proetus as a descendant of Agenor.
