For other uses, see Agenor (mythology).

In Greek mythology, Agenor (/əˈdʒiːnɔːr/; Ancient Greek: Ἀγήνωρ or Αγήνορι Agēnor; English translation: 'heroic, manly') was a son of King Pleuron of Aetolia and Xanthippe, and grandson of Aetolus. His siblings were Stratonice, Sterope and Laophonte. Agenor married his cousin Epicaste, the daughter of Calydon, who became by him the mother of Porthaon and Demonice. According to Pausanias, Thestius, the father of Leda, was likewise a son of this Agenor.
