Proetus
In Greek mythology, Proetus may refer to the following personages:
- Proetus, king of Argos and Tiryns, son of Abas and twin brother of Acrisius.
- Proetus, son of Thersander, son of Sisyphus. He was the father of Maera who died a maiden. Scholiasts on the Odyssey confound him with the Argive Proetus.
- Proetus of Thebes, eponym of the Proetid Gates, and father of Galanthis.
- Proetus, a son of Nauplius I and father of Lernus. His mother was either Clymene, or Philyra, or Hesione.
- Proetus, a son of Agenor. It is unclear whether Stephanus is referring to a son of Agenor named Proetus, or to the Argive Proetus as a descendant of Agenor.
