Diomede

• Diomede, daughter of Xuthus. She married Deioneus, king of Phocis, and was the mother of Cephalus, Actor, Aenetus, Phylacus and Asterodia.[1](Interwiki : bn, ja)
• Diomede or Diomedes, a Lapith and daughter of Lapithes and possibly of Orsinome. She married King Amyclas of Sparta and became the mother of King Argalus[2], King Cynortes, Hyacinthus[3], Polyboea[4], Laodamia[5] (or Leanira[6]), and, in other versions, of Daphne[7].
• Diomede, according to Homer, the daughter of one Phorbas, taken by Achilles as a slave from Lesbos. She is named in the Iliad as the slave that Achilles sleeps with after he turns away the embassy of Ajax and Odysseus.[8][9][10]
• Diomede, wife of Pallas and mother of Euryalus, who fought at Troy. Nothing else is known about her.
