Actor

(Ἄκτωρ).

1. A son of Deion and Diomede, the daughter of Xuthus. He was thus a brother of Asteropeia, Acnetus, Phylacus, and Cephalus, and husband of Aegina, father of Menoetius, and grandfather of Patroclus. (Apollod. 1.9.4, 16, 3.10.8; Pind. O. 9.75; Hom. Il. 11.785, 16.14.)

Actor

2. A son of Phorbas and Hyrmine, and husband of Molione. He was thus a brother of Augeas, and father of Eurytus and Cteatus. (Apollod. 2.7.2; Paus. 5.1.8, 8.14.6.)

Actor

3. A companion of Aeneas (Verg. A. 9.500), who is probably the same who in another passage (12.94) is called an Auruncan, and of whose conquered lance Turnus made a boast. This story seems to have given rise to the proverbial saying " Actoris spolium" (Juv. 2.100), for any poor spoil in general. [L.S]
