3.1 Emigration to Arcadia

In 1408 BC, Amphianax emigrated to near Mantineia in Arcadia. [Estimated from Strabo.8.3.2 and Paus.8.12.7]

Danaus' son-in-law Lynceus died and was succeeded by Lynceus' son Abas. In Abas' fifth year of reign, Argos was occupied by the Sicyonians. [MalaChro.4.68]

Abas fled to Phocis, and Amphianax fled to Arcadia. [Paus.10.35.1]

Abas was Amphianax's cousin.

3.2 Relationship with Mantineus

The town to which Amphianax moved was later called Ptolis, near Mantineia, founded by Mantineus, son of Lycaon. [Strabo.8.3.2]

Amphianax and Mantineus were Pelasgians from Argos.

Amphianax's wife was presumably the daughter of Mantineus.

Later, Abas, cousin of Amphianax, married Aglaia, daughter of Mantineus. [Apo.2.2.1]
