Iphianassa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Iphianassa (/ˌɪfiəˈnæsə/; Ancient Greek: Ίφιάνασσα, romanized: Īphianassa, lit. 'strong queen' or 'rule strongly'[1]) is a name that refers to several characters.
- Iphianassa, one of the 50 Nereids, marine-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[1][2]
- Iphianassa, consort of King Endymion of Elis and mother of Aetolus.[3][4] The wife of Endymion was otherwise known as Asterodia, Chromia, Hyperippe or a nameless Naiad nymph.[5][6]
- Iphianassa, one of the three Proetids, daughters of the Argive king Proetus by Stheneboea who were purified of their madness by Melampus. Iphianassa eventually married Melampus.[7][8]
- Iphianassa, a Mycenaean princess as the daughter of King Agamemnon and Clytemnestra,[9] perhaps the same as Iphigenia.
- Iphianassa, mother of Menalces by Medon of Cilla. Her son was killed by Neoptolemus.[10]
