Person

Temenos

Temenos was, in Greek myth, a great-great-grandson of Heracles who led the return of the Heracleidae into the Peloponnese and received Argos as his share. The kings of Macedon, the Argeads, claimed descent from him, which allowed Alexander I to be accepted as a Greek at the Olympic Games. He was said to have been killed by his own sons.
