Prosymna (Ancient Greek: Πρόσυμνα) was a town in ancient Argolis, in whose territory the celebrated Heraeum, or temple of Hera, stood.[1] Statius gives it the epithet "celsa."[2] Pausanias mentions only a district of this name.[3] According to Greek mythology, its name derives from a daughter of Asterion called Prosymna who, together with her sisters Acraea and Euboea, were wet-nurses of Hera.[3][4]
