In
Greek mythology, Parthenopeus ("son of a pierced maidenhead", also Parthenopaeus) was one of the
Seven Against Thebes and the son of
Atalanta and
Hippomenes,
Melanion,
Meleager, or
Ares, or perhaps the son of
Talaus.
Promachus was his son.
Hyginus writes that he was exposed by his mother on Mount Pathenius, so that she would be thought a virgin. He was rescued by a shepherd, along with
Telephus, the son of
Auge and
Heracles, and the two boys were good friends. Parthenopeus went with Telepus to Teuthrania, where he helped him repulse
Idas's invasion of the kingdom.
