Leucippus (mythology) in the context of "Agamede"

In Greek mythology, Arsinoe, sometimes spelled Arsinoë, (Ancient Greek: Ἀρσινόη), was the name of the following individuals.

• Arsinoe, one of the Nysiads (Dodonides), nurses of the infant Dionysus in Mount Nysa.
• Arsinoe, daughter of Leucippus and possibly Philodice. She was also the sister of Hilaeira and Phoebe, who were abducted by the Dioscuri. By the god Apollo, Arsinoe bore Asclepius, 'leader of men' and Eriopis 'with the lovely hair'. Otherwise, the mother of Asclepius was called Coronis, daughter of Phlegyas because it is said that Asclepius being the son of Arsinoe, was a fiction invented by Hesiod, or by one of Hesiod's interpolators, just to please the Messenians. At Sparta she had a sanctuary and was worshipped as a heroine.
• Arsinoe, one of the Minyades, according to Plutarch. These daughter of Minyas were struck with madness and having conceived a greedy appetite for man's flesh, cast lots accordingly for their children to see who they were going to eat. Whereupon it fell to Leucippe's lot to produce her son Hippasus to be cut in pieces.
• Arsinoe or Alphesiboea, daughter of Phegeus, king of Psophis in Arcadia and sister of Pronous and Agenor. She was the wife of Alcmaeon, leader of the Epigoni by whom she bore a son, Clytius. After Alcmaeon was purified from blood guilt by Phegeus for murdering his own mother Eriphyle, Arsinoe was given in marriage to the hero who received from him the necklace of Harmonia. Later on, her brothers, Pronous and Agenor killed Alcmaeon at the instigation of their father. When Arsinoe condemned them of the act, they clapped her into a chest and carried her to Tegea. There they gave her as a slave to Agapenor, falsely accusing her of her husband's murder. Eventually, retribution came when the sons of Alcmaeon, Amphoterus and Acarnan slew their father's murderers and also Phegeus and his wife.
• Arsinoe, nurse of Orestes who saved him from the hands of his mother Clytemnestra, and carried him to the aged Strophius, the father of Pylades. Other traditions called this nurse Laodameia.
• Arsinoë of Cyprus, daughter of King Nicocreon of Salamis in Cyprus. Arceophon wooed her, but he was rejected, so he killed himself in despair. When Arsinoe leaned out of the window to take a look at the funeral ceremony, Aphrodite turned her into stone.

In Greek mythology, Theonoe (Ancient Greek: Θεονόη means "divine wisdom" from theós 'god' and nóos or noûs 'mind') was a name that may refer to the following women:

• Theonoe, daughter of the prophet Thestor, sister to Theoclymenus, Calchas and Leucippe.
• Theonoe, daughter to the Egyptian king Proteus

In Greek mythology, Philodice or Philodike (Ancient Greek: Φιλοδίκη) was the name of the following figures:

• Philodice, an Argive naiad, daughter of Inachus, river-king of Argos. She was the wife of Leucippus of Messenia by whom she became the mother of Hilaeira and Phoebe, and possibly Arsinoe. Philodice was considered the sister of Phoroneus, Io and Aegialeus.
• Philodice, also Phylodice (Φυλοδίκη), wife of Magnes, king of Magnesia and mother of his sons, Eurynomus and Eioneus. Otherwise the wife of Magnes was called Meliboea by Eustathius.

Lycaethus (Ancient Greek: Λύκαιθος) is a name that refers to the following figures in Greek mythology:

• Lycaethus, father of Creon, king of Corinth, father of Glauce and Hippotes.
• Lycaethus, a son of King Hippocoon of Sparta, usurper of Tyndareus. He was the brother of Lycon, Alcinous, Dorycleus, Scaeus, Enarophorus, Eurytus, Bucolus, Euteiches, Hippothous, Tebrus, Hippocorystes, Alcimus, Dorceus, Sebrus, Eumedes, Enaesimus, Alcon and Leucippus.
• Lycaethus, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Same along with other 22 wooers. He, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.

In Greek mythology, Eurypylus (/jʊəˈrɪpɪləs/; Ancient Greek: Εὐρύπυλος Eurypylos) was a son of Poseidon and the Pleiad Celaeno, and together with his brother Lycus, they ruled over the Fortunate Islands. Others state that Eurypylus was a king of Cyrene, and note that the brothers were also referred to as Eurytus and Lycaon. Eurypylus married Sterope, a daughter of Helios and had two sons, Lycaon and Leucippus. Triton assumed his shape when he encountered the Argonauts in Libya. This Eurypylus must not be confused with another son of Poseidon named Eurypylus, king of Cos.

The Meidias Painter was an Athenian red-figure vase painter in Ancient Greece, active in the last quarter of the 5th century BCE (fl. c. 420 to c. 400 BCE). He is named after the potter whose signature is found on a large hydria of the Meidias Painter’s decoration (BM E 224), excavated from an Etruscan tomb. Eduard Gerhard first identified this inscription in 1839, and it was he who determined the scene on the vase was the rape of the daughters of Leukippos where previously it was thought to be the race of Hippomenes and Atalanta.

Sterope (/ˈstɛrəpiː/; Ancient Greek: Στερόπη, [sterópɛː], from στεροπή, steropē, lightning) was the name of several individuals in Greek mythology:
