Physadeia
Name in Greek mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Physadeia (Ancient Greek: Φυσάδεια) is a name in Greek mythology that may refer to:
- Physadeia, a Libyan princess as one of the Danaids, daughters of King Danaus, who, like her sister Amymone, gave her name to a freshwater source (The well of Physadeia near Argos).[1]
- Physadeia, sister of Pirithous.[2] When the Dioscuri had taken Helen back to Sparta, they had taken captive Physadeia and Aethra, Theseus' mother. These women became handmaidens of Helen and later followed her to Troy.
