Cerdo (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Cerdo (Ancient Greek: Κερδώ, '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]
