Agapenor
Agapenor (Greek: Ἀγαπήνωρ) was a leader of the Arcadians in the Trojan war.[1] He was a son of Ancaeus, and grandson of Lycurgus. As king of the Arcadians he received sixty ships from Agamemnon, in which he led his Arcadians to Troy.[2][3] He also occurs among the suitors of Helen.[4][5] He was one of the men to be in the Trojan Horse.[6]
On his return from Troy he was cast by a storm on the coast of Cyprus, where he founded the town of Paphos and in it the famous temple of Aphrodite.[7] He also occurs in the story of Alcmaeon: it was to him that Arsinoe (Alphesiboea), Alcmaeon's wife was sold away by her own brothers.[8]
Agapenor had a daughter Laodice, who was known for having sent to Tegea a robe as a gift to Athena Alea,[9] and to have built a temple of Aphrodite Paphia in Tegea.[10]
