Galaxy/The codex of Criasus

Son of Argus and Evadne who succeeded his father to the kingdom of Argos in Apollodorus' catalogue of the early Peloponnesian kings.1

I

Apollodorus counts Criasus among the sons Argus begat on Evadne, daughter of Strymon and Neaera — with Ecbasus, Piras, and Epidaurus — and says that Criasus also succeeded to the kingdom after his father had named the land Argos.2

II

Hyginus' compressed genealogy likewise makes Criasus a son of Argus and Evadne, born beside Piranthus and Ecbasus before the collateral lines that produce Triopas and the later Inachids.3
