Proetus. Twin brothers of Acrisius and son of Abas. In the dispute between the two brothers for the Kingdom of Argos, Proetus was expelled, whereupon he fled to Iobates in Lycial, and married Antes, the daughter of the latter. With the assistance of Iobates, Proetus returned to his native land, and Acrisius gave him a share of his kingdom, surrendering to him Tiryns, Midea, and the coast of Argolis.
