{{Other uses|Abas (mythology)}}{{short description|Legendary Ancient Greek King of Argos}}In Greek mythology, Abas ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|eɪ|b|ə|s}}; Ancient Greek: Ἄβας) was the twelfth king of Argos. His name probably derives from a Semitic word for "father". Family Abas was the son of Lynceus of the royal family of Argos, and Hypermnestra, the last of the Danaides.[1] With his wife Ocalea (or Aglaea, depending on the source), he had twin sons Acrisius (grandfather of Perseus) and Proetus,[2][3][4] and one daughter, Idomene{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}}. Abas had also an illegitimate son named Lyrcus who gave his name to the city of Lyrcea.[5] The name Abantiades{{Pronunciation-needed}} ({{lang|grc|Ἀβαντιάδης}}) generally signified a descendant of this Abas, but was used especially to designate Perseus, the great-grandson of Abas,[6] and Acrisius, a son of Abas.[7] A female descendant of Abas, as Danaë and Atalante, was called Abantias. Mythology Abas was a successful conqueror, and was the founder of the city of Abae in northeastern Phocis,[8] home to the legendary oracular temple to Apollo Abaeus, and also of the Pelasgic Argos in Thessaly.[9] When Abas informed his father of the death of Danaus, he was rewarded with the shield of his grandfather, which was sacred to Hera.[10][11] Abas was said to be so fearsome a warrior that even after his death, enemies of his royal household could be put to flight simply by the sight of this shield.[12][13][14] He bequeathed his kingdom to Acrisius and Proetus, bidding them to rule alternately, but they quarrelled even while they still shared their mother's womb.
