Iliad

Homer

Homer names Peneleos among the Boeotian captains of the Catalogue of Ships — fifty ships from the Theban plain, later a fighter who wounds Ilioneus and faces Hector's onset.

Peneleos

Boeotian leader at Troy, son of Hippalcimus — one of the Catalogue captains who keep Boeotia present in the Iliad's war.

Catalogue of Ships

Peneleos shares Boeotian command with Leitus, Arcesilaus, Prothoenor, and Clonius — the five who marshal the fifty ships.

Bibliotheca

Apollodorus

Later mythographers keep Peneleos among the Achaean leaders and, in some strands, among the Epigoni or Theban succession after the war.
