Axioche

In surviving summaries of Greek myth, Axioche is presented as the woman or nymph who bore Chrysippus to King Pelops of Pisa. The sources identify Chrysippus as Pelops' son by Axioche and note that the child was born while Pelops was married to Hippodamia, a circumstance described in some accounts as rendering Chrysippus illegitimate. Some secondary accounts and catalogues also record that Axioche is elsewhere called Danais. These attestations are preserved in modern reference summaries (e.g., Wikipedia entry for Axioche and related genealogical summaries) and in linked mythographic pages summarizing the Pelops cycle.

No primary-descriptive material for Axioche's physical appearance or iconography is attested in the available sources. She is referred to only by role (a woman or a nymph) and by name in genealogical listings; the supplied materials do not record age, clothing, distinguishing features, or artistic depictions.

The supplied sources do not attribute any supernatural powers, cultic functions, ritual roles, or active behaviors to Axioche. Her role in the extant material is genealogical—serving as the mother of Chrysippus by Pelops—and no rites, cult, or agency in the invisible world are recorded in the provided references.
