Capaneus Son of Hipponous.
Capaneus turned into
one of the Seven against Thebes. Classical
sources are Aeschylus’s Seven against Thebes
(422–451), Homer’s Iliad (2.564), and Statius’s
Thebaid (3.598, four.165, 6.731, 10.827). As
Capaneus scaled the walls of Thebes, he declared
that now not even Zeus could forestall him along with his thun-
derbolts; yet Zeus killed him with a thunderbolt.
Capaneus is a prime instance of hubris.
