Amphithea
Amphithea (Ancient Greek: Ἀμφιθέα) is the name of several women in Greek mythology:
- Amphithea, wife of Lycurgus, king of Nemea, and mother of Opheltes (afterwards he was called Archemorus).[1] Also known as Eurydice.
- Amphithea, daughter of Pronax, son of King Talaus of Argos, and thus, sister to Lycurgus. She married Adrastus and was the mother of Argea, Deipyle, Aegiale, Aegialeus and Cyanippus.[2] Another account refers to her as the wife of Dion and the mother of Carya, Orphe and Lyco.[3]
- Amphithea, wife of Autolycus and mother of Anticlea (the mother of Odysseus), Polymede (possible mother of Jason), and a number of sons, including Aesimus (the father of Sinon).[4][5]
- Amphithea, wife of Aeolus the Etrurian king, and mother of six sons and six daughters, the youngest boy being Macareus, who made his sister Canace pregnant. Both he and his sister killed themselves.[6]
- Amphithea, an alternate name for Hemithea, the sister of Tenes.[7]

gollark: I mean that "AI" isn't very well-defined and is mostly just used to describe things which are still difficult/an active area of research.
gollark: In the old times™, even things like pathfinding were considered AI, I think. Also things like chess engines and primitive theorem provers.
gollark: It's been said that AI is just anything we can't do nicely yet, which seems accurate.
gollark: The largest bases I've designed are large main-bus-based ones with dedicated offload sites for things like green circuits.
