Arestor

Arestor (Ancient Greek: Ἀρέστωρ, gen.: Ἀρέστορος), son of Phorbas or Iasus, is a character from Greek mythology. In some accounts, he is the father of Argus Panoptes, who is therefore called Arestorides.[1] According to Pausanias,[2] Arestor was the husband of Mycene, the daughter of Inachus, from whom the city of Mycenae derived its name.

Some authors gave Arestor as the father of another Argus, the builder of Argo.[3][4]

gollark: Except you just unilaterally came up with that initial statement, so if I wanted to (and I totally do) I could reinterpret that as you demanding some stuff for nothing in return.
gollark: Which is somewhat reduced by you vaguely compromising, I guess.
gollark: Your edited thing (without aborting the current event) would be acceptable if it was not for, as I have repeatedly mentioned, the meta-level issue.
gollark: It kind of undermines the original departure.
