Cerdo

In the Argive genealogical tradition Cerdo is recorded in some accounts as the wife of the early king Phoroneus of Argos and the mother of his children. The attestation cited in the provided materials (summarized in modern reference works) credits Pausanias with naming Cerdo as Phoroneus's consort; other authors and local traditions give alternate names (Cinna, Teledice, Perimede, or Peitho) for the same role, reflecting variant local or literary genealogies. The supplied sources present Cerdo only as one of several possible maternal attributions used to explain or legitimize dynastic lines in Argive mythic history.

The provided sources supply no physical, iconographic, or costume description of Cerdo. She is attested only as a name in genealogical lists and narrative summaries; there is no evidence in the excerpts for visual depictions or cultic imagery associated with her.

No supernatural powers, behaviors, cultic roles, or ritual functions are ascribed to Cerdo in the supplied materials. Her role is genealogical and nominal — a named consort and mother in mythic pedigrees. The sources also note that the same name-string 'Cerdo' appears in wholly distinct contexts (for example, a 2nd-century Syrian Gnostic and the modern Spanish common noun for 'pig'); these are separate referents and are not evidence of abilities or attributes for the mythological Cerdo.
