Galaxy/The codex of Alector

In Greek mythology, Alector (Ancient Greek Ἀλέκτωρ) refers to several men. The atlas node alector-anaxagoras is the Argive son of Anaxagoras and father of King Iphis — the native third of Argos that outlasted the Melampid and Biantid shares after the kingdom was divided in three.

I.Argive son of Anaxagoras

Apollodorus and Pausanias place Alector in the Proetid native third: son of Anaxagoras, father of Iphis of Argos. Through him the Megapenthes line continues after Melampus and Bias receive their shares of the divided kingdom.

Homonym care: not the Boeotian Alectryon/Alector father of Leitus (alectryon-boeotian); not the Elean prince who summons Phorbas; not the Spartan Alector son of Argeus. The atlas id is the Argive Anaxagorid alone.
