In Greek mythology, Ancaeus (/ænˈsiːəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀγκαῖος Ankaîos) was both an Argonaut[1] and a participant in the Calydonian Boar hunt, in which he met his end.
Ancaeus was the son of King Lycurgus[2] of Arcadia either by Cleophyle or Eurynome[3] or Antinoe.
[4] Ancaeus married Iotis and became the father of Agapenor who led the Arcadian forces during the Trojan War.
[5] Ancaeus' arms were ominously hidden at home, but he set forth, dressed in a bearskin and armed only with a labrys (λάβρυς "doubled-bladed axe").
