Cerdo (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Cerdo (Ancient Greek: Κερδοῦς, 'purveyor of gain')^[1] was, according to Pausanias, the wife of King Phoroneus of Argos.^[2] In other sources the consort of Phoroneus was called either Cinna,^[3] Teledice,^[4] Perimede,^[5] or Peitho.^[6]

Pausanias stated that she had a tomb at the agora of Argos, next to a temple of Asclepius.^[2] The presence of the tomb indicates that she had a cult there.^[1]
