Cylarabes (^{[pronunciation?]};Greek:Κυλαράβης^[1]), orCylarabos, orCylasabos, son ofSthenelus, was a mythological king ofArgos.

He succeeded to the throne upon the death of his father.^[2] During his reign Argos was finally reunited after having been divided into three parts since the reign ofAnaxagoras. Anaxagoras had given one third of his kingdom toMelampus and the other toBias while Anaxagoras and his line continued to rule the central region. Cylarabes regained the portion of the kingdom given toBias upon the death ofCyanippus. (The portion belonging to the line of Melampus had been regained by his father Sthenelus, upon the death of Amphilocus). Cylarabes died without an heir and his vacant throne was seized byOrestes, the king ofMycenae.^[3]
