In Greek mythology, Arcesilaus was one of the Greek leaders in the Trojan War, from Boeotia, commander of ten ships. He was son of Areilycus and Theobule, and brother of Prothoenor.[1][2][3] He was killed by Hector.[4] Leitus brought his remains back to Boeotia and buried them near Lebadea, on the banks of River Hercyna.[5]
