In Greek mythology, Peneleus, son of Hippalcimus and Asterope, was an Achaean soldier in the Trojan War. Prior to the beginning of the war, he was said to have sailed with the Argonauts; he also was one of the suitors of Helen, which obliged him to join in the campaign against Troy. He came from Boeotia and commanded 12 ships. It is also said that Peneleus was chosen to command the Boeotian troops because Tisamenus, son and successor of Thersander, was still too young. Peneleus killed two Trojans, Ilioneus and Lycon, was himself wounded by Polydamas, and got eventually killed by Eurypylus (son of Telephus). He left a son Opheltes, whose own son (Peneleus' grandson) Damasichthon succeeded Autesion, son of Tisamenus, as the ruler over Thebes.
