Capaneus
In Greek mythology, Capaneus ((ギリシア語:Καπανεύς)) was a son of Hipponous and either Astynome (daughter of Talaus)〔Hyginus, ''Fabulae'', 70〕 or Laodice (daughter of Iphis),〔Scholia on Euripides, ''Phoenician Women'', 189; on Pindar, Nemean Ode 9. 30〕 and husband of Evadne, with whom he fathered Sthenelus.〔''Bibliotheca'' 3. 10. 8〕 Some call his wife Ianeira.〔Scholia on Pindar, Olympian Ode 6. 46〕
==Mythology==
According to the legend, Capaneus had immense strength and body size and was an outstanding warrior. He was also notorious for his arrogance. He stood just at the wall of Thebes at the siege of Thebes and shouted that Zeus himself could not stop him from invading it. In Aeschylus, he bears a shield with a man without armour withstanding fire, a torch in hand, which reads 'I will burn the city,' in token of this. While he was mounting the ladder, Zeus struck and killed Capaneus with a thunderbolt, and Evadne threw herself on her husband's funeral pyre and died.〔Sophocles, ''Antigone'', 133〕〔''Bibliotheca'' 3. 6. 6. – 3. 7. 1〕〔Euripides, ''Suppliants'', 983 ff〕〔Hyginus, ''Fabulae'', 243〕〔Ovid, ''Metamorphoses'', 9. 404; ''Ars Amatoria'', 3. 21〕〔Philostratus the Elder, ''Images'', 2. 31〕 His story was told by Aeschylus in his Seven against Thebes,〔Aeschylus, ''Seven Against Thebes'', 423 ff〕 by Euripides,〔Euripides, ''Phoenician Women'', 1172 ff〕 and by the Roman poet Statius.〔Statius, ''Thebaid'', 10. 927〕
