Lesserwell-documentedAncient Greek mythologyElisGreece
Origin

Extant mythographic notices identify Nausidame as the daughter of Amphidamas. In one recorded tradition she consorted with the sun god Helios and became the mother of Augeas, who is described as king of Elis. Other ancient sources record alternative parentages for Augeas (for example naming Eleios, Poseidon, or Phorbas and Hyrmine), indicating variant local genealogies; the supplied materials do not give a narrative birthstory or further origin details for Nausidame herself.

Appearance

The provided sources give no physical description of Nausidame. She appears only as a named genealogical figure in concise mythographic entries (e.g., the summary citing Apollodorus/Pausanias and a Hyginus list); no surviving attributes of age, clothing, features, or iconography are recorded in the cited excerpts.

Abilities

The cited materials attribute no supernatural powers, deeds, or recurring roles to Nausidame. She is attested solely as a mortal woman named in genealogical lists: daughter of Amphidamas and, in one tradition, mother of Augeas by Helios. Beyond this parental attribution the sources offer no actions or abilities.
