Astydamia

Astydamia (Ancient Greek: Αστυδάμεια), also spelled as Astydamea or Astydameia, was the name fo five figures in Greek mythology:
 * 1) Astydamia, a daughter of Cretheus who married King Acastus of Iolcus. Astydamia fell in love with Peleus after he was purified by her husband for the murder of King Eurytion of Phthia. Despite her loving him, he spurned her advances. Because of this, Astydamia sent a letter to Peleus' wife Antigone telling her that he was going to marry the daughter of Acastus, Sterope. Antigone killed herself. Astydamia then told Acastus that Peleus had attempted to rape her so Acastus took Peleus into the forest but abandoned him when they were attacked by centaurs. By the help of Hermes and Chiron, Peleus was saved from the attack, returned to Iolcus, and dismembered Astydamia. This Astydamia was also known as Hippolyte.
 * 2) Astydamia, a daughter of Pelops and Hippodamia who married Alcaeus and mothered Amphitryon, Anaxo, and Perimede.
 * 3) Astydamia, a daughter of Phorbas who mothered Lepreus by Caucon. She convinced Heracles to reconcile with her son who told Augeas to detain Heracles.
 * 4) Astydamia, the mother of Ctesippus by Heracles. She was either the daughter of Amyntor and Cleobule or Ormenius. Heracles tried to marry Astydamia but her father refused because he was already married. Heracles then waged war against her father, killed him, and kidnapped Astydamia. She is also known as Astyoche or Astygenia.
 * 5) Astydamia, a daughter of Strophius and Cydragora.
