Pronax

In Greek mythology, Pronax (/ˈprˌnæks/; Ancient Greek: Πρῶναξ) was one of the sons of Talaus and Lysimache, a brother of Adrastus and Eriphyle, and the father of Lycurgus and Amphithea.[1] According to some accounts, he died before the war of the Seven against Thebes, and the Nemean Games were instituted in his honor.[2]
