Gelanor is also a spider genus (Mimetidae)

In Greek mythology, King Gelanor of Argos welcomed Danaus and his daughters. When an oracle told him to give Danaus his kingdom, he did so. He wanted to sell the Danaides into slavery following their murder of their husbands, but Danaus and the gods dissuaded him. He is simply called the "King" in Aeschylus' Suppliant Maidens.

Gelanor is also the name of an advisor to the Spartans under Menelaus. He accompanied Helen when she went to Troy.[citation needed]
