In Greek mythology, Astydamea or Astydamia (/əˌstɪdəˈmiːə/; Ancient Greek: Ἀστυδάμεια Astudámeia, derived from ἄστυ ástu, "town", and δαμάω damáo, "to tame") is a name attributed to several individuals:

  • Astydamea, hija de Creteo (también conocida como Hipólita ), [1] [2] [3] era la reina de Iolcus y esposa de Acastus . Su esposo purificó a Peleo del asesinato del rey Euritión de Phthia . Astydameia se enamoró de Peleo pero él la despreció. Amargada, envió un mensajero a Antígona , la esposa de Peleo, para decirle que Peleo se casaría con la hija de Acastus, Sterope.; Antígona se ahorcó. Astydameia luego le dijo a Acastus que Peleo había intentado violarla. Acastus creyó las acusaciones falsas y trató de vengarse de Peleo llevándolo a un viaje de caza y dejándolo desprotegido mientras un grupo de centauros atacaba. Peleo escapó de la muerte con la ayuda de Quirón y Hermes ; saqueó a Iolcus y desmembró a Astydameia, luego hizo marchar a su ejército entre los miembros destrozados. [4]
  • Astydamea, hija de Pelops y Hippodamia . Se casó con Alcaeus y tuvo hijos con él: Amphitryon , Anaxo y Perimede . [5] En otras cuentas, la esposa de Alceo fue nombrado Hipponome , hija de Menoeceus o Laonome , hija de Guneus . [6]
  • Astydamea, daughter of Phorbas and mother of Lepreus by Caucon, son of Poseidon. She persuaded Heracles to reconcile with her son, who had previously advised Augeas to cast Heracles in bonds.[7]
  • Astydamea, mother of Ctesippus by Heracles. In one source, she was the daughter of Amyntor,[8] possibly by Kleoboule or Hippodameia.[9] Another account makes her the daughter of Ormenus, king of Ormenion.[10] Heracles, the same source relates, wooed her, but Ormenius would not marry her to him since Heracles was already married to Deianira. Heracles then led a war against Ormenius, killed him and took Astydameia by force.[11] Astydameia (or Astygeneia) is also an alternate name for Astyoche, daughter of Phylas, who bore Heracles a son Tlepolemus.[12]
  • Astydamea, was briefly mentioned by a scholiast on Euripides as the daughter of Strophius and Cydragora and sister of Pylades.[13]
