Pelasgus

Pelasgus

In Greek mythology, Pelasgus referred to several different people.

#One was the first king of Arcadia, the ancestor of the Pelasgians, whom Herodotus claimed were the oldest inhabitants of Greece. He was the son of Zeus and Niobe and the father of Lycaon with Meliboea. The Ancient Greeks used to believe even he was the first man.
#Another was the King of Argos; also known as Gelanor, he welcomed Danaus and the Danaides when they fled from Aegyptus.
#Another was the father of Larissa
