Meneptolemus
In Greek mythology, Meneptolemus (Ancient Greek: Μενεπτολέμοιο or Μενεπτόλεμος means 'staunch in battle, steadfast') may refer to two different figures:
- Meneptolemus, husband of Tisiphone, daughter of Antimachus of Troy.[1] His wife roused the other Trojan women to fight during the Trojan war.[2]
- Meneptolemus, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers.[3] He, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.[4]
