Origin

The name Diogeneia appears in ancient Greek mythographic tradition as the personal name of at least three women: (1) a daughter of the river-god Cephissus who married Phrasimus and became mother of Praxithea (attested in mythographic listings referenced by modern compilations such as Wikipedia and indices like ToposText and Pantheon); (2) an Eleusinian princess listed among the daughters of King Celeus and Metanira (attested in mythographic catalogues); and (3) a daughter of Phorbas of Olenus who married Alector of Elis and was mother of Amarynceus in one tradition (Pausanias and other local genealogical traditions provide variant parentages). These attestations are genealogical and local-historical rather than narrative accounts of a unified mythic persona.
