Pallantides

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

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 the girl, Aricia, who some traditions say Theseus kept as slave.
