Laodice (Greek myth) in the context of Aepytus

In Greek mythology, Agamemnon (/æɡəˈmɛmnɒn/ ; Ancient Greek: Ἀγαμέμνων Agamémnōn) was a king of Mycenae who commanded the Achaeans during the Trojan War. He was the son (or grandson) of King Atreus and Queen Aerope, the brother of Menelaus, the husband of Clytemnestra, and the father of Iphigenia, Iphianassa, Electra, Laodike, Orestes and Chrysothemis. Legends make him the king of Mycenae or Argos, thought to be different names for the same area. Agamemnon was killed upon his return from Troy by Clytemnestra, or in an older version of the story, by Clytemnestra's lover Aegisthus.

In Greek mythology, the name Laodamia (Ancient Greek: Λαοδάμεια Laodámeia) referred to:

• Laodamia (or Hippodamia), a Lycian princess as the daughter of Bellerophon and Philonoe, daughter of King Iobates. Her mother was also known Alkimedousa, Anticleia, Pasandra or Cassandra. Laodamia's brothers were Hippolochus and Isander, and by Zeus, she became the mother of Sarpedon. She was shot by Artemis (that is, died a sudden, instant death) one day when she was weaving. Diodorus Siculus called her Deidamia, the wife of Evander, who was a son of Sarpedon the elder and by her father of Sarpedon the younger. Xanthus was also called the father of Sarpedon according to one account.
• Laodamia, daughter of Acastus and Astydamia and the wife of Protesilaus. When her husband fell in the Trojan War, Laodamia committed suicide rather than be without him.
• Laodamia or Leaneira, an Arcadian queen as the wife of King Arcas by whom she became the mother of Elatus, Apheidas and Triphylus. Laodamia was the daughter of King Amyclas of Sparta and Diomede, daughter of Lapithes. Through this parentage, she was considered the sister of Argalus, Cynortes, Hyacinthus, Polyboea, Hegesandra and, in other versions, of Daphne.
• Laodamia, daughter of Alcmaeon, wife of Peleus and mother by him of Polydora. But see Antigone.
• Laodamia, wife of Anticlus. Her husband was one of the men who were hiding in the Trojan Horse.
• Laodamia, alternate name for Iphthime, daughter of Icarius of Sparta and Asterodia, daughter of Eurypylus. She was the sister of Penelope, Amasichus, Phalereus, Thoon, Pheremmelias, Perilaos. Laodamia was also called Laodice, Mede and Hypsipyle.
• Laodamia or Arsinoe, nurse of Orestes. She saved his life by sending him to Strophius after the murder of Agamemnon, whereas Aegisthus killed her own son, taking him for Orestes.
• Laodamia, alternate name for Hippodamia (wife of Pirithous) occurring in a red-figure vase painting.

There were several figures named Elatus /ˈɛlətəs/ or Élatos (Ancient Greek: Ἔλατος means "ductile") in Greek mythology.

• Elatus, a son of Arcas by either Leaneira (or Laodameia), Meganeira, Chrysopeleia or Erato and the brother of Apheidas and Azan. He was allotted by Arcas the region of then-nameless Mount Cyllene as his domain, but afterwards migrated to the region which later became known as Phocis, and assisted the local inhabitants in the war against the Phlegyans; he was renowned as founder and eponym of the city Elatea. An image of him was carved on a stele in the marketplace of Elatea. He married Laodice (daughter of Cinyras) and became by her, the father of Stymphalus, Pereus, Aepytus, Ischys, and Cyllen.
• Elatus, a Lapith chieftain of Larissa, Thessaly. He was the father, by Hippeia, of Caeneus, Polyphemus, the seer Ampycus, Ischys who was beloved by Coronis, and a daughter Dotia, possibly the eponym of Dotion (Dotium) in Thessaly (see also Dotis).
• Elatus, a centaur, killed during a battle with Heracles by a poisoned arrow that passed through his arm and continued to wound Chiron in the knee.
  • The minor planet 31824 Elatus is named after this figure.
• Elatus or Elaton, a charioteer of Amphiaraus, otherwise known as Baton.
• Elatus, father of Euanippe, who was the mother of Polydorus by Hippomedon.
• Elatus, a son of Icarius and father of Taenarus by Erymede, daughter of Damasiclus. In one account, Taenarus was instead called the child of Icarius with no mention of the birth mother.
• Elatus, an ally of the Trojans from Pedasus, killed by Agamemnon.
• Elatus, one of the suitors of Penelope from Same along with other 22 wooers. He was slain by Emaeus during the assault of Odysseus.

In Greek mythology, Pereus (Ancient Greek: Περέος) was an Arcadian prince as the son of King Elatus and Laodice, daughter of King Cinyras. He had four brothers namely, Stymphalus, Aepytus, Ischys and Cyllen. Pereus had a daughter, Neaera who married Autolycus, a son of Hermes.

In Greek mythology, the name Iphthime /ɪpˈθaɪmiː/ (Ancient Greek: Ἰφθίμη, romanized: Iphthímē) refers to:

• Iphthime, daughter of Icarius, a sister of Penelope and Perileos. She became the wife of Eumelus from Pherae and possibly, the mother of his son, Zeuxippus. In Homer's Odyssey, Athena creates an image in Iphthime's likeness and sends this to a sleeping Penelope. This image conveys encouragement to Penelope after the latter confides in it her worries for her husband Odysseus and her son Telemachus. Scholiasts on Homer inform that she was also known under several other names: Hypsipyle, Mede, Laodice or Laodamia, and that her mother was Asterodia.
• Iphthime, daughter of Dorus, mother of the Satyrs Lycus, Pherespondus and Pronomus by Hermes.

The name is the feminine form of the adjective ἴφθιμος, which is a Homeric epithet of vague meaning, usually connoting something like robustness or faithfulness when applied to a female human.

In Greek mythology, Polymelus or Polymelos (Ancient Greek: Πολύμηλον or Πολύμηλος, lit. 'with many sheep') may refer to multiple figures:

• Polymelos, suitor of Megara, mother of Ixion in one source. Together with another suitor, Phorbas, they slain Megara and, in vengeance, were murdered by the latter's son.
• Polymelos, son of Icarius and Asterodia, daughter of Eurypylus. He was the brother of Damasiclus (Amasiclus), Penelope and Laodice (Iphthime).
• Polymelus, a Lycian warrior, son of Argeas. He was killed by Patroclus.
• Polymelus, a Trojan prince as an illegitimate son of King Priam by one of his concubines.

In Greek mythology, Damasiclus (Ancient Greek: Δαμάσικλος or Δαμασίκλου) may refer to two different characters:

• Damasiclus, father of Erymede, mother of Taenarus by Elatus, son of Icarius.

• Damasiclus, also called Amasiclus (᾿Αμάσικλος) or Amasichus (᾿Αμάσιχος), the Spartan son of Icarius and Asterodia, and brother of Polymelos, Penelope and Laodice; or Phalereus, Thoon, Pheremmelias, Perilaos, Penelope and Laodamia (also called Mede or Hypsipyle). Otherwise, this Damasiclus might be identical with Damasippus, also called the son of Icarius (by the naiad Periboea) and brother of Penelope.

In Greek mythology, the name Meda (Ancient Greek: Μήδα) or Mede (Μέδη or Μήδη) may refer to:

• Meda, wife of King Idomeneus. While her husband fought at Troy, she had a love affair with Leucus (like Clytaemnestra and Aegiale, she became unfaithful to her husband at the instigation of Nauplius). However, Leucus eventually killed Meda and her daughter Cleisithyra, and seized the power over the kingdom of Idomeneus.
• Meda, daughter of Phylas and mother of Antiochus by Heracles.
• Mede, another name for Iphthime, daughter of Icarius of Sparta and Asterodia, daughter of Eurypylus. She was the sister of Penelope, Amasichus, Phalereus, Thoon, Pheremmelias, Perilaos. Mede was also called Hypsipyle, Laodamia and Laodice.

In Greek mythology, Capaneus (/kəˈpæn.juːs/; Ancient Greek: Καπανεύς Kapaneús) was a son of Hipponous and either Astynome (daughter of Talaus) or Laodice (daughter of Iphis), and husband of Evadne, with whom he fathered Sthenelus. Some call his wife Ianeira.
