In Greek mythology, Phorbas{{Pronunciation-needed}} (Ancient Greek: Φόρβας, gen. Φόρβαντος) or Phorbaceus{{Pronunciation-needed}} was the sixth king of Argos.[1][1][2]

Family

Phorbas was given two different parentage and progeny by various sources. According to scholia on Euripides, his parents were Criasus and Melantho (Melantomice[1]), brother of Ereuthalion and Cleoboea and father of Arestor and Triopas by Euboea.[3] While Pausanias stated that Phorbas was the son of Peirasus Argus, brother of Peirasus and possibly Tiryns and Epidaurus as they were sons of Argus.[4] His mother in the latter case maybe Evadne, daughter of river god Strymon. In which case, both authors agree that he had a son Triopas who also became a king after him. Another son, Pellen (Pelles) was credited to be the founder of the city of Pellene in Achaea.[5][6]

Reign

According to Tatiānus, he may have been a king of Argos himself, succeeding either Argus or Criasus.[7] Eusebius included him in the list of kings of Argos, in which he reigned for thirty five years and was succeeded by Triopas. He was a contemporary of Actaeus, the first king of Attica who named the country after himself, Actaea.[8] During Phorbas' reign, Cecrops Diphyes became the first king of the Athenians.[2]{{s-start}}
