Overview
From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.
Life
One office on record
Holding an office is not parentage and not discipleship.
What this means
As the records give them: every row is a third party’s statement, not a self-description, and a role or an affiliation is often held for one period of a life only. An affiliation is not a belief, and this site does not ask anyone about theirs. For an office: which one, for how long, and where the records give an ordinal or the holders either side. Recognition of a tenure is never universal: contested lines appear as overlapping tenures rather than as one corrected sequence.

Family
The family of Argus
Parents, consorts and children as the accounts give them. Choose a consort to see the children the stories give the two.
Accounts differ about a god’s family. Where they name different parents, the tree sets them side by side instead of choosing one.
The family as a list · 16
Kinship in an account 2
What this means
Parentage as a named source tells it. Not an independently established biological relationship, and different accounts disagree.
Does not imply marriage as a legal institution · exclusivity, or a single canonical pairing

Family 14
