Pronax

In Greek mythology, Pronax (/ˈproʊˌnæks/; Ancient Greek: Πρώναξ) is the son of Talaus and Lysimache, and brother of Adrastus. The Nemean Games are supposed to have been instituted in his honour.[1]

For a genus of sea sponges, see Cliona.

Pronax' children were Lycurgus, who was believed to have been raised from the dead by Asclepius, and Amphithea, who married either Adrastus or Dion.[2][3]
