Pisidice
In Greek mythology, Pisidice (/paɪˈsɪdɪsiː/, Ancient Greek: Πεισιδίκη, Peisidíkē) or Peisidice, was one of the following individuals:
- Pisidice, daughter of Aeolus, mother of Antiphus and Actor by Myrmidon.[1][2]
- Pisidice, an alternate name for Demonice, mother of Thestius by Ares.[3]
- Pisidice, daughter of Pelias, who, together with her sisters, killed their father, as Medea tricked them into believing this was needed to rejuvenate him.[4]
- Pisidice, a Pylian princess and daughter of King Nestor and Anaxibia[5] or Eurydice[6]. She was sister to Polycaste, Perseus, Stratichus, Aretus, Echephron, Pisistratus, Antilochus and Thrasymedes.[7][8] She was probably the Pisidice who became the mother of Borus by Periclymenus, brother of Nestor and consequently her uncle.[9]
- Pisidice, a princess of Methymna, who fell in love with Achilles as he besieged her city, and promised to put Methymna into his possession if he would marry her. He agreed to her terms but, as soon as the city was his, he ordered that she be stoned to death as a traitor.[10][11]
- Pisidice, daughter of Leucon and mother of a son Argynnos, who was loved by Agamemnon and drowned in River Cephissus.[12]

gollark: Oh, 117MB/year, I may have actually underestimated this.
gollark: It pings 7 websites every 30 seconds, and then generates something like 16 bytes of data each, so it should grow slower than Moore's law if ubq's disk is big enough.
gollark: Yes, it is.
gollark: Which reminds me, I wonder if the OnStat database has grown to unreasonably huge sizes yet. It never deletes historical latency data.
