Tiryns (mythology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Tiryns (Ancient Greek: Τίρυνθα) was an Argive prince as the son of King Argus[1] and possibly Evadne, daughter of the river-god Strymon and Neaera. He was probably the brother of Ecbasus, Peiras, Epidaurus and Criasus.[2] The city of Tiryns was named after him.[1]
