(Greek mythology) Parthenopaeus
- 467 BCE, Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes 547, (English translation (1926) by Herbert Weir Smyth @perseus.tufts.edu):
  βλάστημα καλλίπρῳρον, ἀνδρόπαις ἀνήρ:
  στείχει δ’ ἴουλος ἄρτι διὰ παρηίδων,
  ὥρας φυούσης, ταρφὺς ἀντέλλουσα θρίξ.
  ὁ δ’ ὠμόν, οὔτι παρθένων ἐπώνυμον,
  Παρθενοπαῖος Ἀρκάς: ὁ δὲ τοιόσδ’ ἀνὴρ
  blástēma kallíprōiron, andrópais anḗr:
  steíkhei d’ íoulos árti dià parēídōn,
  hṓras phuoúsēs, tarphùs antéllousa thríx.
  ho d’ ōmón, oúti parthénōn epṓnumon,
  […] Parthenopaîos Arkás: ho dè toiósd’ anḕr
  beautiful child, half man, half boy,
  and his beard's first growth is just now advancing on his cheeks, his youth in first bloom, thick, upspringing hair.
  But now he makes his advance with a savage heart and a terrifying look, not at all like the maidens he's named for.
  he is Parthenopaeus of Arcadia. Such is the man,
  
  The epsilon Παρθενοπαῖος here is pronounced long, not short, for metric reasons.
