Lysippe
Lysippe is the name of several different women in Greek mythology:
- Lysippe, daughter of Thespius and Megamede. She bore Heracles a son, Erasippus.
- Lysippe, the Amazon mother of the river god Tanais.
- Lysippe, the daughter of Proetus and Stheneboea. Along with her sisters Iphinoe and Iphianassa, she was driven mad, believing herself to be a cow. This was either because they would not receive the rites of Dionysus, or they scorned the divinity of Hera. They also lost their beauty: they were afflicted with skin diseases and their hair dropped out. They were cured by Melampus, the son of Amythaon.
- Lysippe, wife of Prolaus of Elis.
- Lysippe, possible name for the wife of Talaus.
- Lysippe, other name for Cydippe, daughter of King Ormenus of Rhodes and wife of her uncle Cercaphus.
