Abantiades
As Abantiades ( ancient Greek Ἀβαντιάδης ) in Greek mythology the descendants of Abas , son of Lynkeus and king of Argos , or Abas , son of the seer Melampus , are called.
The name can be found in Ovid as a nickname for the son of the Argive Abas Akrisios and in Apollonios of Rhodes for Kanethos . Kanthos , the grandson of Abas, is referred to in the Orphic Argonautica as Abantiades and his great-grandson Perseus in turn in Ovid.
As a name for the descendants of the seer Abas, Abantiades can be found in Apollonios of Rhodes as an epithet of the seer Idmon .
