Protogeneia

Protogeneia (/ˌprɒtə.dʒəˈnaɪə/; Ancient Greek: Πρωτογένεια means "the firstborn"), in Greek mythology, may refer to:

Protogeneia, daughter of Deucalion and Pyrrha, mythological progenitors.[1][2] By Zeus, she became the mother of Opus,[3] Aethlius,[4] Aetolus[citation needed] and possibly of Dorus.[5] This Protogeneia and the one below maybe different or the same person.
Protogeneia, also called Cambyse,[6] daughter of the above Opus. Zeus carried her off from the land of the Epeans and became by her, on mount Maenalus in Arcadia, the father of Opus II.[7] She was later received by Locrus who for being childless, married Protogeneia and adopted her son Opus as his own.[8]
Protogeneia, daughter of Calydon and Aeolia, daughter of Amythaon, and thus sister to Epicaste. With Ares, she was mother to Oxylus of Aetolia.[9]
Protogeneia, the eldest of the daughters of Erechtheus and Praxithea. She and her sister Pandora committed suicide when Erechtheus sacrificed Chthonia, another sister of theirs. Protogeneia's other sisters were Procris, Creusa, and Oreithyia[10]
