 When Temenus, in the division of the Peloponnese, had obtained Argos as his share, he bestowed all his affections upon daughter Hyrnetho and her husband Deiphontes, for which he was murdered by his sons, who thought themselves neglected.According to Apollodorus, after the death of Temenus the army declared Deiphontes and Hyrnetho his rightful successors.Pausanias, however, reports a different story.
