The name of two descendants of TEMENUS mentioned by Herodotus in connection to the founding of the Argead dynasty of Macedon. The earlier Aëropus was one of three Argive brothers (Aëropus, PERDICCAS, and GAUANES) who were exiled from ARGOS and came to MACEDONIA, where Perdiccas founded the Argead dynasty (8.137–39). The later Aëropus was a descendant of this Perdiccas and is cited among the ancestors of Alexander I by Herodotus (8.139). The name Aëropus occurs again in the Macedonian royal family of the fifth and fourth centuries BCE (LGPN IV, 8 (no. 1)).
