Mythological Princess Agamede (Perimede) of Elis

Princess Agamede (c. twelfth century BCE) 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 Belus, Actor, and Dictys, by Poseidon. She was called Perimede by both Propertius and Theocritus. By the Hellenistic period (c. 4th to 1st centuries BCE), Agamede had become a sorceress-figure, much like Circe or Medea.
