AnteiaStheneboea

A queen of Argos; the wife of Proetus and noted for her role in the banishment of Bellerophontes.

Anteia tried to seduce Bellerophontes and when he refused her advances she lied to her husband and said that Bellerophontes had tried to force his affections upon her; Proetus tried and failed to have Bellerophontes killed.

In The Iliad (book 6, line 150+) she is called Anteia but later versions of the story give her the name of Stheneboea; her father was the ruler of Lykia (Lycia) and is not named in The Iliad but in later times he was called Iobates.

She is also called Antia and, as the wife of Proetus, was the mother of Iphianassa, Iphinoe and Lypsippe.
