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. [1] In secret union, Hermes fathered him, Pherespondus and Lycus to Iphthime, daughter of Dorus. [2] 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. [3]
- Pronomus, from Zacynthos, one of the suitors of Penelope along with other 43 wooers. [4] Upon returning from Ithaca, Odysseus shot down all the suitors including Pronomus with the help of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus. [5]
There is also the Pronomos Painter, known for the Pronomos Vase, now in Naples, which shows actors after a performance.
