Arisbe (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Arisbe (/əˈrɪzbiː/; Ancient Greek: Ἀρίσβη) may refer to the following women:

• Arisbe, daughter of Merops of Percote, a seer. In a non-Homeric story, she married Priam, later king of Troy, and bore him a son named Aesacus. Priam subsequently divorced her in favor of Hecuba, daughter of King Dymas of Phrygia. Arisbe then married Hyrtacus, to whom she bore a son named Asius.^[1] Ephorus wrote of Arisbe as the first wife of Paris.^[2]
• Arisbe, also called Bateia, daughter of King Teucer of Crete^[3] or of King Macareus of Lesbos.^[2] She was married to Dardanus,^[4] son of Zeus and Electra. There was a town named Arisbe in the Troad (in the northwestern part of Anatolia) and another on the island of Lesbos. Arisbe, then, may be an eponym.^[2] As daughter of Macareus, Arisbe was the sister of ,^[5] Mytilene, Agamede, Antissa, Issa,^[6] , , Leucippus^[7] and .^[8]
