Hecamede

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As written in Homer's The Iliad, Hecamede, daughter of Arsinous, was captured from the isle of Tenedos and given as captive to King Nestor. Described as "skilled as a goddess", "fair" and "proud", Hecamede was not a concubine but a serving woman. In her most prolonged mention she serves Nestor and Prince Machaon Pramnian wine, a medicinal drink.
