Arisbe (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Arisbe (/əˈrɪzbiː/; Ancient Greek: Ἀρίσβη) may refer to the following women:
- Arisbe, daughter of Merops of Percote, a seer. In a non-Homeric story, she married Priam, later king of Troy, and bore him a son named Aesacus. Priam subsequently divorced her in favor of Hecuba, daughter of King Dymas of Phrygia. Arisbe then married Hyrtacus, to whom she bore a son named Asius.[1] Ephorus wrote of Arisbe as the first wife of Paris.[2]
- Arisbe, also called Bateia, daughter of King Teucer of Crete[3] or of Macareus.[2] She was married to Dardanus,[4] son of Zeus and Electra. There was a town named Arisbe in the Troad (in the northwestern part of Anatolia) and another on the island of Lesbos. Arisbe, then, may be an eponym.[2]
Other use
- Arisbe is also the name of the residence of American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce.
