Diomede (Ancient Greek: Διομήδη Diomēdē) is the name of four women in Greek mythology.
As written in Homer's Iliad, Diomede was a mistress of Achilles, taken up after the seizure of Briseis by King Agamemnon. Her father was Phorbas of Lesbos.[1][2]
Diomede was a Lapith, and daughter of Lapithes. She married Amyclas and was the mother of Hyacinthus, Cynortes, Polyboea, Laodamia (Leaneira), and, in one version,[3] of Daphne.[4][5][6][7]
Diomede, daughter of Xuthus. She married Deioneus, king of Phocis, and was the mother of Cephalus, Actor, Aenetus, Phylacus and Asterodia.[8][9]
A fourth character of the name Diomede is mentioned briefly in Hyginus.[10] She is given as the wife of Pallas and mother of Euryalus, who fought at Troy. Nothing else is known about her.
