Mnesileus
In Greek mythology, Mnesileus (Ancient Greek: Μνησίλεως Mnesileos) or Mnasinous (Μνασίνους) was the son of Polydeuces, one of the Dioscuri, and Phoebe,[1] daughter of Leucippus of Messenia.[2] The temple of the Dioscuri at Argos contained also the statues of these two sons of the Dioscuri, Anaxias and Mnasinous,[3] and on the throne of Amyclae both were represented riding on horseback.[4]
