Menestheus

（Μενεσθεύς).

1.

The son of Peteos, who seized the government of Attica, while Theseus pined away in the nether world, and commanded the Athenians before Troy, where he fell. (See Demophoön; Theseus.)

2.

The charioteer of Diomedes.

3.

The son of the Athenian general Iphicrates. With his father and his father-in-law he was impeached by their colleague Chares for misconduct in their command during the Social War (B.C. 356); but Iphicrates and Menestheus were acquitted (Diod.xvi. 21).
