Agamede

Agamede ("very cunning") was a name attributed to two separate women in classical Greek mythology and legendary history.
# Agamede was, according to Homer, a Greek physician acquainted with the healing powers of all the plants that grow upon the earth. She was born in Elis, a princess as the eldest daughter of Augeas, King of the Epeans, and was married to Mulius, the first man killed in battle by Nestor during a war between Elis and Pylos. Hyginus makes her the mother of Actor and Dictys by Poseidon. She was called Perimede by both Propertius and Theocritus. By the Hellenistic period, Agamede had become a sorceress-figure, much like Circe or Medea.
# Agamede, a princess of Lesbos as the daughter of King Macar and sister to Methymna, Mytilene, Antissa, Arisbe, Issa, Cydrolaus, Neandrus, Leucippus, and Eresus.
