Arestor

（Ἀρέστωρ), the father of Argus Panoptes, the guardian of lo, who is therefore called Arestorides. (Apollod. 2.1.3; Apollon. 1.112; Ov. Met. 1.624.) According to Pausanias (2.16.3), Arestor was the husband of Mycene, the daughter of Inachus, from whom the town of Mycenae derived its name.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
