(Ancient Greek: Πηνελέως Pēneléōs) or, less commonly, Peneleus (Πηνέλεος Pēnéleos), son of Hippalcimus (Hippalmus[1]) and Asterope,[2][3] was an Achaean soldier in the Trojan War.
Before the war began he was said to have sailed with the Argonauts;[4] he also was one of the suitors of Helen, which obliged him to join in the campaign against Troy.
[6] It is also said that Peneleos was chosen to command the Boeotian troops because Tisamenus, son and successor of Thersander, was still too young.
[13] His descendant, Philotas of Thebes, was said to be the founder of Priene in Ionia.
