Temenus. A son of Aristomachus, one of the Heracleidae. He was the father of Ceisus,
Cerynes, Phalces, Agraeus, and Hyrnetho (Paus. ii. 28; Apollod. ii. 8.2). He was
one of the leaders of the Heracleidae into Peloponnesus,
and, after the conquest of the peninsula, he received Argos
as his share (Apollod. ii. 8.4; Plat. Min. p. 683, b. ; Strab. viii). His tomb
was shown at Temenion near
Lerna (Paus. ii.38.1). His
descendants, the Temenidae, being expelled from Argos,
are said to have founded the kingdom of Macedonia,
whence the kings of Macedonia called themselves Temenidae (Herod. viii. 138; Thuc.
ii. 99).
