Megapenthes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Megapénthês was a son of Proetus. He exchanged kingdoms (Argos for Tiryns) with his cousin, Perseus. He also killed Perseus much later. He was the father of Argeus and possibly of Anaxagoras.

Also in Greek mythology, Megapénthês was a son of Menelaus, who ruled after his father's death and sent Helen into exile. In some legends Helen is his mother; in most other legends he was Melelaus' son by a concubine and was born during the Trojan War.
