Eriopis
In Greek mythology, the name Eriopis (Ancient Greek: Ἐριῶπις) may refer to:
- Eriopis, 'with the lovely hair', the daughter of Apollo and Arsinoe (herself daughter of Leucippus), thus possibly a sister of Asclepius.[1]
- Eriopis, the only daughter of the hero Jason and the Colchian sorceress Medea, the daughter of King Aeëtes. She was the sister of Medeus (also known as Polyxenus).[2]
- Eriopis, mother of Ajax the Lesser by Oileus.[3][4] Scholia on the Iliad inform that she was a daughter of Pheres and Clymene, and was also known as Eriope or Alcimache.[5] Otherwise, the latter was the daughter of Phylax.
- Eriopis, consort of Anchises and mother by him of a daughter Hippodamia.[6]
