Cynortas

In Greek mythology, Cynortas or Cynortes  (Ancient Greek: Κυνόρτας) or Cynortus was a king of Sparta.

Family
Cynortas was the son of King Amyclas of Sparta and Queen Diomede, and thus brother to King Argalus, Hyacinthus, Laodamia (or Leanira ), Hegesandre, Harpalus, Polyboea and in other versions, of Daphne. He was the father of Oebalus or of Perieres, who either succeeded to the throne.

Mythology
After the death of his brother Argalus, Cynortes inherited the kingdom and eventually became the king of Sparta. He is presumed to have participated in Pelops' attack on Oenomaus in 1312 BC. His tomb was shown near Scias at Sparta.
