Agenor (son of Triopas)
Agenor ( ancient Greek Ἀγήνωρ ) is a son of the Argive king Triopas and brother of Iasus in Greek mythology . His son Krotopus succeeded Iasus on the throne of Argos.
In a scholion of Hellanikos he is the younger brother of Iasus and Pelasgos . While the older brothers ruled Argos, Agenor invaded the neighboring lands as head of his father's cavalry. A Scholion to Orestes des Euripides names him alongside Iasos, Pelasgos and Xanthos as the son of Triopas with Soïs.
