In Greek mythology, Parthenopaeus or Parthenopaios (/pɑːrˌθɛnəˈpiːəs/; Ancient Greek: Παρθενοπαῖος, romanized: Parthenopaîos, lit. 'virgin woman's son') was one of the Seven against Thebes, a native of Arcadia,[1] described as young and outstandingly good-looking,[2][3] but at the same time arrogant, ruthless and over-confident,[4] although an unproblematic ally for the Argives.[5]
