Penelos (Πηνελέως) or, less commonly, Penelus (Πηνέλεος) was the son of Hippalkimus and Asterope. Though he did sail with the Argonauts, he was better known for his part in the Trojan War being an Akhaean soldier. Peneleos killed two Trojans, Llioneus and Lykon before he was wounded by Polydamas and was killed by Eurypylus (son of Telephus). He left a son Opheltes, whose own son (Peneleos' grandson) Damasikhthon succeeded Autesion, son of Tisamenus, as the ruler over Thebes.
