- 467 BCE, Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes 536:
  ὁ δ’ ὠμόν, οὔτι παρθένων ἐπώνυμον,
  Παρθενοπαῖος Ἀρκάς: ὁ δὲ τοιόσδ’ ἀνὴρ
  ho d’ ōmón, oúti parthénōn epṓnumon,
  […] Parthenopaîos Arkás: ho dè toiósd’ anḕr
  But (now he makes his advance with ...) a terrifying look, not at all like the maidens he's named for.
  he is Parthenopaeus of Arcadia. Such is the man
