Pallantides

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, the Pallantides were the fifty sons of Pallas, nobles of Attica. They fought against Theseus because they could not accept him as king. Leos, a herald of Theseus, warned him of their schemes and an ambush they had prepared for him. Theseus pre-emptively ambushed the Pallantides and killed all but girl, Aricia, who some traditions say Theseus kept as slave.
