Talk:King Proteus

Proetus not Proteus
The name is wrong!

It is Proetus and not Proteus!

There was not "King Proteus" in Greek Mythology.

In Greek mythology, Proteus is an early sea-god, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea", whose name suggests the "first", as protogonos is the "firstborn". No mention is made of his parents, until for later mythographers he became the son of Poseidon in the Olympian theogony, or of Oceanus and a Naiad.

From Wikipedia.

Proetus was a king of Argos.

 * Don't confuse different heroes, please! Sea-god Proteus was interpreted by some authors as king (in euhemeristic manner). See Proteus of Egypt.--ChroniclerSPb (talk) 12:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
