Agamede

Agamede (Ancient Greek Ἀγαμήδη) is a name applied to several mythic women in Greek literary and geographic tradition: a Homeric healer versed in the powers of plants, a Hellenistic-era sorceress-figure associated with pharmakeia, and an eponymous ancestral woman linked to a town on Lesbos. Sources present her variously as a practical herbalist, a literary sorceress archetype, and a local founding figure.

Agamemnon

Agamemnon is the legendary king of Mycenae (or Argos), head of the House of Atreus, and commander of the Achaean forces at Troy in Greek epic and tragedy. His story links dynastic guilt, ritual obligation, and political authority, culminating in the sacrifice-at-Aulis episode and his murder on return from Troy followed by juridical atonement in the Oresteia.

Aganippe (naiad)

Aganippe is the local Naiad of the spring called Aganippe at the base of Mount Helicon in Boeotia. The spring and its nymph are traditionally associated with the Muses and with poetic inspiration; the name Aganippe is also used as an epithet in other, sometimes divergent, local mythic or cultic contexts.

Agapenor

Agapenor (Ancient Greek: Ἀγαπήνωρ) is a legendary Arcadian leader in the Greek heroic-age tradition: commander of Arcadian contingents at Troy, participant in Trojan-cycle episodes (including the Trojan Horse and funeral games), and, in later tradition, shipwrecked on Cyprus and credited with founding New Paphos. He is presented as a mortal king and genealogical ancestor rather than a supernatural being.

Agapius (Greek: Ἀγάπιος; c. 460 – after 511) is recorded in late antique sources as a learned Neoplatonic philosopher of Athens who lectured on Plato and Aristotle and as, in some traditions, a physician who worked in Alexandria and later Constantinople. The evidence is fragmentary and transmitted through later epitomes (notably Damascius via Photius and the Suda) and a report by John Lydus.

Agaptolemus

Agaptolemus (Ancient Greek: Ἀγαπτόλεμος) is a mythic Greek prince, one of the fifty sons of King Aegyptus, best known as the husband of the Danaid Pirene who, like most of the Danaids, slew her husband on their wedding night at the command of her father Danaus.
