Parthenopaeus

One of the seven heroes that undertook the expedition against Thebes. He is sometimes called a son of Ares or Meilanion and Atalanta,1 sometimes of Meleager and Atalante,2 and sometimes of Talaus and Lysimache.3 His son, by the nymph Clymene, who marched against Thebes as one of the Epigoni, is called Promachus, Stratolaus, Thesimenes, or Tlesimenes.4 Parthenopaeus was killed at Thebes by Asphodicus, Amphidicus or Periclymenus.5
