  • In Greek mythology, Argus (Ancient Greek: "Ἄργος, Argos) was the king and eponym of Argos. He was a son of Zeus and Niobe, the daughter of Phoroneus, and possibly the brother of Pelasgus. Argus succeeded to his maternal grandfather's power over Peloponnese, naming the kingdom after himself. A scholiast on Homer calls Argus son and successor of Apis. Argus married either Evadne, the daughter of Strymon and Neaera, or Peitho the Oceanid, and had by her six sons: Criasus, Ecbasus, Iasus, Peiranthus (or Peiras, Peirasus, Peiren), Epidaurus and Tiryns. According to Pausanias, Argus' yet another son was the Argive Phorbas (elsewhere his grandson through Criasus). The tomb of Argus in Argos was shown as late as the times of Pausanias, who also made mention of a grove sacred to Argus in Lacedaemon where some from the Argive army took refuge after being defeated by Cleomenes I, and were subsequently burned to death therein.
