In Greek mythology, Mecisteus (/məˈsɪsˌt(j)uːs/; Ancient Greek: Μηκιστεύς Mēkisteús) was the son of Talaus and Lysimache.
The Bibliotheca, however, gives one version of the legend in which he replaces Tydeus as one of the seven.
[3] Herodotus also writes that he was one of the attackers, although whether one of the seven champions or simply another leader is not made clear.
[4] In the Iliad, Mecisteus attends the funeral games of Oedipus at Thebes, and wins all the boxing matches.
