Arisbe (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Arisbe (/əˈrɪzbiː/; Ancient Greek: Ἀρίσβη) or Arisba 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] Otherwise, the mother of Aesacus was the naiad Alexirrhoe, daughter of the river Granicus.[3]
  • Arisbe, also called Bateia, a princess as the daughter of King Teucer of Crete[4] or of King Macareus of Lesbos.[2] She was married to Dardanus,[5] 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] As daughter of Macareus, Arisbe was the probably the sister of Mytilene,[6] Agamede,[7] Antissa,[8] Issa,[9] Methymna,[10] Cydrolaus, Neandrus, Leucippus[11] and Eresus.[12]
