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.
Ancient source excerpts and modern reference summaries provide only genealogical and onomastic information and do not furnish physical descriptions or iconographic details for any woman named Diogeneia.
The cited sources assign social and familial roles (daughter, wife, mother) to the women named Diogeneia but do not attribute supernatural powers, characteristic behaviors, or magical abilities. No capacities beyond genealogical relationships are documented in the provided material.

Diomedes (Ancient Greek: Διομήδης) is a hero of Greek myth, foremost among Achaean warriors in the Trojan War, later a king of Argos and a legendary founder of cities in Italy; some traditions report he received cult after death.

Dione is primarily a proper name attested in ancient Greek myth (Διώνη, 'she who is under the authority of Zeus') borne by multiple mythological women, and is also used in modern taxonomy and astronomy (notably a moon of Saturn).
