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]
