Argus succeeded to his maternal grandfather's power over Peloponnese , naming the kingdom after himself.[5] A scholiast on Homer calls Argus the son and successor of Apis .[6] Jerome and Eusebius , citing the now-lost history of Castor of Rhodes , also agree in making Argus the successor of Apis, and son of Zeus and Niobe, and give the length of his reign over "Argeia" (Argos) as 70 years.
The tomb of Argus in Argos was shown as late as the times of Pausanias,[7] Lacedaemon where some from the Argive army took refuge after being defeated by Cleomenes I , and were subsequently burned to death therein.[8]
