Pronomus
In Greek mythology, Pronomus or Pronomos (Ancient Greek: Πρόνομος means 'grazing forward') may refer to two characters:
- Pronomos, the "intelligent" satyr herald of Dionysus during the Indian War. In secret union, Hermes fathered him, Pherespondus and Lycus to Iphthime, daughter of Dorus. Eiraphiotes (i.e. Dionysus) entrusted to these three satyr brothers the dignity of the staff of the heavenly herald which their father was the source of wisdom.
- Pronomus, from Zacynthos, one of the suitors of Penelope along with other 43 wooers. Upon returning from Ithaca, Odysseus shot down all the suitors including Pronomus with the help of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.
There is also the Pronomos Painter, known for the Pronomos Vase, now in Naples, which shows actors after a performance.
