Prothous
Prothous is a personal name borne by several distinct mortal figures in Greek mythic narrative traditions — including an Arcadian prince (one of Lycaon's sons), a Calydonian hunter, various warriors in the Theban and Trojan cycles (notably a commander of the Magnetes who led forty ships to Troy), and one of the suitors of Penelope. The bearers are ordinary heroic-age mortals whose actions are recorded in different episodic contexts rather than a single supernatural entity.
