Prothous

One of the sons of Agrius. They wrested the kingdom from their uncle Oeneus and gave it to their father, and more than that they imprisoned Oeneus in his lifetime and tormented him. Diomedes afterwards came secretly with Alcmaeon from Argos and put to death all the sons of Agrius, except Onchestus and Thersites, who had meanwhile fled to Peloponnese.
