Proetus

In Greek mythology, Proetus /ˈpriːtəs/ (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, son of Thersander (son of Sisyphus) and 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, a son of Nauplius I and father of Lernus.^[6] His mother was either Clymene, or Philyra, or Hesione.
• 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.
