In Greek mythology Mecisteus (Ancient Greek: Μηκιστεύς) was the son of Talaus and Lysimache. He participated in the attack on the city of Thebes with the Seven Against Thebes along with his brother Adrastus. In Aeschylus’ tragedy Seven Against Thebes Mecisteus is not among the seven champions who attack the seven gates of Thebes. The Bibliotheca however gives one version of the legend in which he replaces Tydeus as one of the seven.
