Diomede (/ˌdaɪ.əˈmiːdiː/; Ancient Greek: Διομήδη Diomēdē) is the name of four women in Greek mythology:
- Diomede, daughter of Xuthus. She married Deioneus, king of Phocis, and was the mother of Cephalus, Actor, Aenetus, Phylacus and Asterodia.[1][2](Interwiki: bn, ja)
- Diomede or Diomedes, a Lapith and daughter of Lapithes and possibly of Orsinome. She married King Amyclas of Sparta and became the mother of King Argalus,[3] King Cynortes[4], Hyacinthus[5], Polyboea[6], Laodamia[7] (or Leanira[8]), Harpalus[9], Hegesandre[10] and, in other versions, of Daphne.[11]
- Diomede, according to Homer, the daughter of one Phorbas, taken by Achilles as a slave from Lesbos. She is named in the Iliad as the slave that Achilles rapes after he turns away the embassy of Ajax and Odysseus.[12][13][14]
