In Greek mythology, Peneleos[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek: Πηνελέως Pēneléōs) or, less commonly, Peneleus (Πηνέλεος Pēnéleos), son of Hippalcimus (Hippalmus) and Asterope,[1][2] was an Achaean soldier in the Trojan War.
Mythology
Before the war began he was said to have sailed with the Argonauts;[3] he also was one of the suitors of Helen, which obliged him to join in the campaign against Troy.[4] He came from Boeotia and commanded 12 ships.[5] It is also said that Peneleos was chosen to command the Boeotian troops because Tisamenus, son and successor of Thersander, was still too young.[6]
Peneleos killed two Trojans,[7] Ilioneus[8] and Lycon,[9] was wounded by Polydamas[10] and was killed by Eurypylus (son of Telephus).[6][11] He left a son Opheltes, whose own son (Peneleos' grandson) Damasichthon succeeded Autesion, son of Tisamenus, as the ruler over Thebes.[12]
His descendant, Philotas of Thebes, was said to be the founder of Priene in Ionia.
