- Son of Perseus and Andromeda, and king of Mycenae.
- Son of Capaneus and Evadne, he fought alongside Diomedes and the other Argives in the Trojan War and was one of the men who hid in the Trojan horse. In the Iliad, he boasts that he captured the city of Thebes, while his father, fighting among the Seven Against Thebes, died attempting the same thing.[1] He ruled Iphis' half of Argos, along with Diomedes, after both Adrastus and Aegialeus had died. His sons were Cylarabes and Cometes.[2]
- Son of Actor and a companion of Heracles, whom he accompanied to the land of the Amazons to steal Hippolyte's girdle.
