Medusa (Greek myth) in the context of "Nicippe"

Anaxibia (/ænəkˈsɪbiə/; Ancient Greek: Ἀναξίβια) is the name of six characters in Greek mythology.

• Anaxibia, one of the Danaïdes, married to Archelaus, son of Aegyptus.
• Anaxibia, a naiad of the Ganges river. She fled from the advances of Helios, but she disappeared in Artemis's sanctuary on Mount Koryphe.
• Anaxibia, mother of Maeander by Cercaphus.
• Anaxibia, daughter of Bias and Iphianassa, and niece of Melampus. She married Pelias, King of Iolcus, to whom she bore Acastus, Pisidice, Pelopia, Hippothoe, Alcestis, and Medusa. She was sometimes called Alphesiboea or Phylomache, daughter of Amphion.
• Anaxibia, daughter of Cratieus. She married Nestor and is the mother of Pisidice, Polycaste, Perseus (son of Nestor), Stratichus, Aretus, Echephron, Peisistratus, Antilochus, and Thrasymedes. More commonly, Eurydice of Pylos is considered to be Nestor's wife and the mother of these children.
• Anaxibia, daughter of Atreus and Aerope or, alternatively, of Pleisthenes and Aerope or Pleisthenes and Cleolla (daughter of Dias), and sister of Agamemnon and Menelaus. She married Strophius, king of Phocis, becoming mother of Pylades. Anaxibia was also known as Astyoche or Cydragora.

Polybus (Ancient Greek: Πόλυβος) is a figure in Greek mythology. He was the king of Corinth whose wife was variously referred to as Periboea, Merope or Medusa, daughter of Orsilochus.

In Greek mythology, Diocles (Ancient Greek: Διοκλῆς Dioklēs) may refer to:

• Diocles, king of Pherae as son of previous ruler Orsilochus. He was possibly the brother of Medusa, wife of Polybus of Corinth and Dorodoche, wife of Icarius of Sparta. Diocles was the father of the twins Orsilochus and Crethon, and also of Anticleia, the mother of Nicomachus and Gorgasus by Machaon. These two grandsons succeeded him on the throne after his death. In the Odyssey, Telemachus and Peisistratus spent a night at his house on their way to Sparta, as well as on their way back.
• Diocles or Dioclus, king and one of the first priests of Demeter, and one of the first to learn the secrets of the Eleusinian Mysteries, along with Triptolemus and Polyxenus.
• Diocles, king of Megara, who was overthrown by Theseus, as a result of which Eleusis was annexed from Megara. He may be identical with #2.
