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]
