Autesion in the context of "Demonassa"

Eurysthenes (Greek: Εὐρυσθένης, "widely ruling") was king of Sparta and one of the Heracleidae in Greek mythology. He was a son of Aristodemus and Argia, daughter of Autesion. He had a twin brother, Procles. Together they received the land of Lacedaemon after Cresphontes, Temenus and Aristodemus defeated Tisamenus, the last Achaean king of the Peloponnesus. Eurysthenes married Lathria, daughter of Thersander, King of Kleonae, sister of his sister-in-law Anaxandra, and was the father of his successor, Agis I, founder of the Agiad dynasty of the Kings of Sparta.

The title of archēgetēs, "founding magistrate," was explicitly denied to Eurysthenes and Procles by the later Spartan government on the grounds that they were not founders of a state, but were maintained in their offices by parties of foreigners. Instead the honor was granted to their son and grandson, for which reason the two lines were called the Agiads and the Eurypontids.

Argia /ɑːrˈdʒaɪə/, Argea /ɑːrˈdʒiːə/, or Argeia (Ancient Greek: Ἀργεία, romanized: Argeía) may refer to several figures in Greek mythology:

• Argia, one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-spouse Tethys. She was the mother of Phoroneus, by her brother Inachus, a river-god of Argos. Argeia may also have been the mother (by Inachus) of Io.
• Argia, wife of Polybus and mother of Argus. The later was the builder of the ship Argo from the story of Jason and the Argonauts. Others credited Danaus or Arestor to be this Argus' father.
• Argia, an Argive princess as the daughter of King Adrastus and Amphithea, daughter of Pronax. She married Polynices, son of Oedipus and bore him three sons: Thersander, Adrastus and Timeas.
• Argia, a Theban princess as the daughter of King Autesion. She married Aristodemus and became the mother of twins, Eurysthenes and Procles, the ancestors of the two royal houses of Sparta.
• Argeia, was also an epithet of the Greek goddess Hera derived from Argos, the principal seat of her worship.
