Sthenelus
In Greek mythology, Sthenelus refers to four different people.Son of Perseus and Andromeda.Son of Capaneus and Evadne. In the Iliad, he boasts that along with the other Epigoni he captured the city of Thebes, although they had fewer men than their fathers, the Seven Against Thebes, who died attempting the same thing, because they were obedient to the gods. He fought alongside Diomedes and the other Argives in the Trojan War, and was one of the men who hid in the Trojan horse. Since he was a descendant of Proteus, he may have ruled Argos after both Adrastus and Aegialeus died. His sons were Cylarabes and Cometes.Son of Androgeus and a companion of Heracles, whom he accompanied to the land of the Amazons to steal Hippolyte's girdle.Father of Cycnus and King of Liguria.
