Lysippe

Lysippe (/lˈsɪpi/; Ancient Greek: Λυσίππη Lusíppē) is the name of several different women in Greek mythology:

  • Lysippe, daughter of Thespius and Megamede. She bore Heracles a son, Erasippus.[1]
  • Lysippe, the Amazon mother of the river god Tanais.[2][3]
  • Lysippe, the daughter of Proetus and Stheneboea. Along with her sisters Iphinoe and Iphianassa, she was driven mad, believing herself to be a cow. This was either because they would not receive the rites of Dionysus, or they scorned the divinity of Hera. They also lost their beauty: they were afflicted with skin diseases and their hair dropped out. They were cured by Melampus, the son of Amythaon.[4]
  • Lysippe, wife of Prolaus of Elis.[5]
  • Lysippe, possible name for the wife of Talaus.[6]
  • Lysippe, other name for Cydippe, daughter of King Ormenus of Rhodes and wife of her uncle Cercaphus.[7]
