Prothous, an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiadCyllene,[1]Nonacris[2] or by unknown woman. He and his brothers were the most nefarious and carefree of all people. To test them, Zeus visited them in the form of a peasant. These brothers mixed the entrails of a child into the god's meal, whereupon the enraged Zeus threw the meal over the table. Aegaeon was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.[3]
Prothous of Argos, a warrior in the army of the Seven against Thebes. He cast lots to assign places in the chariot race at the funeral games of Opheltes.[6]
Prothous, a defender of Thebes against the Seven, killed by Tydeus.[7]
Prothous, son of Tenthredon[8] and either Eurymache or Cleobule the daughter of Eurytus.[9] He was one of the commander of the Magnetes who dwelt around mount Pelion and the river Peneus and one of the Greek leaders in the Trojan War. Prothous brought forty ships to Troy.[10] According to one version, Prothous, together with Meges and a number of others, died as a result of a shipwreck near Cape Caphereus of Euboea;[11] in another version, Prothous, Eurypylus and Guneus ended up in Libya and settled there.[12]
