In
Greek legends,
Procles (, "the renowned") was one of the
Heracleidae, a great-great-great-grandson of
Heracles, and a son of
Aristodemus and
Argia. His twin was
Eurysthenes. Together they received the land of
Lacedaemon after
Cresphontes,
Temenus and
Aristodemus defeated
Tisamenus, the last Achaean king of the
Peloponnesus. Procles married Anaxandra, daughter of
Thersander, King of Kleonoe, sister of his sister-in-law Lathria, and was the father of
Soos and the grandfather of
Eurypon, founder of the Eurypontid dynasty of the
Kings of Sparta.
