Amphithea

Amphithea

Amphithea (Ancient Greek: Ἀμφιθέα) is the name of several women in Greek mythology:


Notes

  1. Apollodorus, 1.9.14, other accounts call Lycurgus' wife and Opheltes' mother Eurydice.
  2. Apollodorus, 1.9.13
  3. Servius on Virgil, Eclogues 8.29 – if indeed "Amphithea, daughter of Pronax" is the correct reading behind the actually surviving "*Iphitea, daughter of *Prognaus"
  4. Plutarch, Parallela minora 28
