Proetus
In Greek mythology, Proetus (Greek: Προῖτος Proitos) may refer to the following personages:
- Proetus, son of Thersander (son of Sisyphus) and father of Maera who died a maiden.[2] Scholiasts on the Odyssey confound him with the Argive Proetus.[3]
- Proetus of Thebes, eponym of the Proetid Gates,[4] and father of Galanthis.[5]
- Proetus, a son of Nauplius I and father of Lernus.[6] His mother was either Clymene, or Philyra, or Hesione.
- Proetus, a son of Agenor (?). It is unclear whether Stephanus[7] is referring to a son of Agenor named Proetus, or to the Argive Proetus as a descendant of Agenor.
