In Greek mythology, Prothoenor[pronunciation?] (Greek: Προθοήνωρ) was one of the Greek leaders in the Trojan War, from Thespiae in Boeotia,[1] son of Areilycus and Theobule, brother of Arcesilaus; he commanded eight ships.[2][3] John Tzetzes makes him a son of Alector and Arteis, and thus a half-brother of Leitus and Clonius.[4] According to the Iliad, he was killed by Polydamas, who immediately began to boast about it.[5]
