In Greek mythology , Prothoenor [pronunciation? ] (Ancient Greek : Προθοήνωρ) was one of the Greek leaders in the Trojan War , from Thespiae in Boeotia , son of Areilycus [ 1] (Archilycus [ 2] ) and Theobule ,[ 3] brother of Arcesilaus ; he commanded eight ships. In one account, Prothoenor was the 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]
