Actor (Son of Deioneus)

Actor, son of King Deioneus of Phocis and Diomede, daughter of Xuthus, thus a brother of Asterodeia, Aenetus, Phylacus, and Cephalus. This Actor married Aegina, daughter of the river god Asopus, and had several children, among them Menoetius. Menoetius was counted among the Argonauts, and was the father of Patroclus (Achilles' very close companion). This Actor could be the man referred by Hesiod as the father of Protesilaus, one of the suitors of Helen of Troy.
