	Phoroneus, Greek Mythology Link.
		Having become a ruler, Phoroneus gathered together inhabitants that until then were scattered living as isolated families, and founded a city which was first called City of Phoroneus, and later Argos after Argus 5, the grandson of Phoroneus.
		In Argos, Phoroneus was still remembered in historical times, and the Argives brought offerings to his grave as to a hero, keeping also a statue of him, next to which there was an ever burning fire, for according to the Argives, it was Phoroneus who discovered fire, and not Prometheus 1 as others think.
		At the death of Phoroneus, he was succeeded on the throne by his grandson Argus 5, son of Zeus and Niobe 1, the first mortal woman to consort with the god.

	The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky, vol 2, pt 2, ch 20
		Now the Greek word [[Phoroneus]] is the rigid equivalent of the Sanskrit word bhuranyu ('the rapid') an epithet of Agni, considered as the carrier of the divine spark.
		Phoroneus, son of Melia or of the celestial ash, thus corresponds to a conception far more ancient, probably, than that one which transformed the pramantha (of the old Aryan Hindus) into the Greek Prometheus.
		Traditions relating to the birth and origin of the race of Bronze, and those which made of Phoroneus the father of the Argians, are an evidence to us that this thunderbolt (or lightning), as in the legends of Hephaestus or Prometheus, was the origin of the human race" (266).

		Phoroneus, for example, appears to be like Cain in that he is the second preflood king of Argos, who founded the first city, yet he also appears like Nimrod in a myth where, at a time when mankind lost its unity of language, he became the first king.

		9 Deduced because Pilkey states that Phoroneus' father Inachus was the son of Mizraim.

		You continuously point to Plato's mention of Phoroneus, Niobe, and Deucalion as evidence of a far more ancient date for the destruction of Atlantis, but Plato quite clearly has the priest telling Solon that the genealogies Solon related were nothing more than "children's tales" (i.e.
