Argead dynasty
The words "Argead" and "Argive" derive (via Latin "Argīvus") from the Greek Ἀργεῖος ("Argeios" meaning "of or from Argos"), which is first attested in Homer where it was also used as a collective designation for the Greeks ("Ἀργείων Δαναῶν", "Argive Danaans"). The Argead dynasty claimed descent from the Temenids of Argos, in the Peloponnese, whose legendary ancestor was Temenus, the great-great-grandson of Heracles.
