👉 Arestor in the context of Melia (consort of Inachus)

In Greek mythology, Melia (Ancient Greek Μελία, Μελίη) was an Oceanid, one of the 3,000 water nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-spouse Tethys. She was the mother of culture hero Phoroneus, and Aegialeus (or Phegeus), by her brother Inachus, the river-god of Argos. However, in some accounts, Inachus fathered Phoroneus by an Oceanid nymph named Argia. According to Argive tradition, Phoroneus was the first man, or first inhabitant of Argos, who lived during the time of the Great Flood, associated with Deucalion.

Melia was also said to have been the mother, by Inachus, of Mycene, the wife of Arestor, and eponym of Mycenae. Melia was also perhaps considered to be the mother, by Inachus, of Io, the ancestress, by Zeus, of the Greek dynasties of Argos, Thebes, and Crete.

Arestor in the context of Ecbasus

In Greek mythology, Ecbasus (Greek: Έκβασος) was the son of Argus, the king and eponym of Argos (and son of Zeus and Niobe). According to the mythographer Apollodorus, his mother was Evadne, the daughter of the river god Strymon, and he was the sibling of Criasus, Epidaurus, and Piras. According to a scholion on Euripides, however, his mother was the Oceanid Peitho.

Ecbasus was the father of Agenor, himself the father of Argus Panoptes (the giant who guarded Io). According to the historian Charax, Ecbasus fathered Arestor, whose son, Pelasgus, settled in the region of Arcadia (which was originally known as Pelasgia).
