[3] Pausanias, citing the Megalai Ehoiai, says that Mycene was the daughter of Inachus and the wife of Arestor, without naming the mother.
[5] As the daughter of Inachus, she would have been therefore the sister of Phoroneus, who, according to Argive tradition, was the first man, or first inhabitant of Argos, who lived during the time of the Great Flood, associated with Deucalion.
[7] It was speculated that Mycene was born in 1765 BC in Phoroneus (later called Argos) to Inachus and Argia (Melia) who were both residing near the upstreams of Cephisus River near Mt.
Around 1750 BC, Mycene’s husband Arestor named after her the newly founded city of Mycenae.
This city was probably founded at the same time with Argos and Sicyon which were both established by Mycene’s two brothers respectively.
