Proetus in the context of "Stheneboea"

In Greek mythology, there were two women known as Philonoe /fɪˈloʊnoʊˌiː/ (Ancient Greek: Φιλονόη) or Phylonoe (Φυλονόη):

• Philonoe, a Spartan princess as the daughter of King Tyndareus and Leda, daughter of King Thestius of Pleuron. She was the sister of Castor and Pollux, Helen, Clytemnestra, Timandra and Phoebe. Artemis made her immortal.
• Philonoe, daughter of Iobates and first wife of Bellerophon by whom, she became the mother of Isander (Peisander), Hippolochus and Laodamia (Deidamia or Hippodamia). Philonoe was the sister of Stheneboea who loved Bellerophon more than her current husband, King Proetus of Argos. She was promised to Bellerophon after he vanquished the Chimera, the Amazons, and more tasks. Bellerophon was given half the kingdom as well as Philonoe's hand in marriage. She was also known under several other names: Alkimedousa or Cassandra, Anticleia, or Pasandra.

In Greek mythology, the Perseids (sg. Perseid; Ancient Greek: Περσείδαι, romanized: Perseídai, lit. 'those born of Perseus', sg. Περσείδης Perseídēs), also called the Perseid dynasty, the Perseid line, or the House of Perseus, are the descendants of Perseus and Andromeda.

After the Greek Dark Ages, tradition recalled that Perseus and his descendants the Perseids had ruled Tiryns in Mycenaean times, while the allied branch descended from Perseus' great-uncle Proetus ruled in Argos.

In Greek mythology, Panopeus (Ancient Greek: Πανοπεύς) was a son of Phocus by Asteria or Asterodia, and twin brother of Crisus. The two brothers were so inimical towards each other that they began fighting while still in their mother's womb, just like Proetus and Acrisius did.

In Greek mythology, Megapenthes (/ˌmɛɡəˈpɛnˌθiːz/; Ancient Greek: Μεγαπένθης Megapénthēs means "great sorrow") is a name that refers to two characters:

• Megapenthes, a son of Proetus.
• Megapenthes, a son of Menelaus.

In Greek mythology, the name Locrus or Lokros (/ˈlɒkrəs/; Ancient Greek: Λοκρός) may refer to:

• Locrus, the king of Locris and son of his predecessor King Physcius. He was the grandson of Amphictyon, son of Deucalion. Locrus became by Cabya the father of Opus, the mythical ancestor of the Ozolian Locrians. According to some, his wife was called Cambyse or Protogeneia. Locrus named the Lelegians Locrians after himself.
• Locrus, son of Zeus and Maera, the daughter of Proetus of Corinth. He is said to have assisted Zethus and Amphion in the building of Thebes. In some accounts, his mother was called Megaclite, daughter of Macareus and had a sister Thebe who married Zethus.
• Locrus, son of Phaeax and brother of Alcinous who emigrated to Italy where he married Laurina, the daughter of Latinus. Herakles at about that time was driving Geryon's beautiful cows from Erytheia. He arrived and was hosted kindly by Lokros. Latinus came to visit his daughter, saw and fancied the cows and drove them away. Discovering this, Herakles shot with his bow and killed him, and brought back the cows. Lokros, fearing Herakles might suffer something terrible at the hands of Latinus, who was strong in body and spirit, had hastened to the aid of his guest, having put on military gear. Herakles seeing him running and thinking he was someone rushing to support Latinus, loosed a shaft and killed him. After he learned he mourned loudly and conducted the rites for him. And when he had passed from among men he appeared to the people as a ghost and ordered them to establish a city by the tomb of Lokros. And the city keeps the name in honor of Lokros.
• Locrus, also a Parian statuary, of unknown date whose statue of Athena in the temple of Ares, at Athens, is mentioned by Pausanias.

In Greek mythology, Iphianassa (/ˌɪfiəˈnæsə/; Ancient Greek: Ίφιάνασσα Īphianassa means 'strong queen' or 'rule strongly') is a name that refers to several characters.

• Iphianassa, one of the 50 Nereids, marine-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.
• Iphianassa, consort of King Endymion of Elis and mother of Aetolus. The wife of Endymion was otherwise known as Asterodia, Chromia, Hyperippe or a nameless Naiad nymph.
• Iphianassa, one of the three Proetids, daughters of the Argive king Proetus by Stheneboea who were purified of their madness by Melampus. Iphianassa eventually married Melampus.
• Iphianassa, a Mycenaean princess as the daughter of King Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, perhaps the same as Iphigenia.
• Iphianassa, mother of Menalces by Medon of Cilla. Her son was killed by Neoptolemus.

Lysippe (/laɪˈsɪpi/; Ancient Greek: Λυσίππη Lusíppē) is the name of several different women in Greek mythology:

• Lysippe, the Amazon mother of the river god Tanais.
• Lysippe, other name for Cydippe, daughter of King Ormenus of Rhodes and wife of her uncle Cercaphus.
• Lysippe, one of the Proetids, the daughters of Proetus and Stheneboea. Along with her sisters Iphinoe and Iphianassa, she was driven mad, believing herself to be a cow. This was either because they would not receive the rites of Dionysus, or they scorned the divinity of Hera. They also lost their beauty: they were afflicted with skin diseases and their hair dropped out. They were cured by Melampus, the son of Amythaon.
• Lysippe, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede or by one of his many wives. When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion, Lysippe with her other sisters, except for one, all laid with the hero in a night, a week or for 50 days as what their father strongly desired it to be. Lysippe bore Heracles a son, Erasippus.
• Lysippe, wife of Prolaus of Elis.
• Lysippe, possible name for the wife of Talaus.
