In Greek mythology Capaneus was a son of Hipponous and either Astynome (daughter of Talaus) or Laodice (daughter of Iphis) and husband of Evadne with whom he fathered Sthenelus. Some call his wife Ianeira.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.
