Lysidice or Lysidike (Ancient Greek: Λυσιδίκη) is the name of several women in Greek mythology.
- Lysidice, daughter of Pelops and Hippodamia. She married Mestor and became the mother of Hippothoe.[1] She was also sometimes said to be the mother of Alcmene, by Electryon.[2]
- Lysidice, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[3] or by one of his many wives.[4] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[5] Lysidice with her other sisters, except for one,[6] all laid with the hero in a night,[7] a week[8] or for 50 days[9] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[10] Lysidice bore Heracles a son, Teles.[11]
- Lysidice, daughter of Coronus, mother of Philaeus by Ajax the Great.[12]
- Lysidice of Athens, one of the would-be sacrificial victims of Minotaur.
- Lysidice, wife of Borus and mother of Penthilus.[13]
- Lysidice, one of the daughters of King Aeolus of Lipara, the keeper of the winds.[14] She had six brothers namely: Periphas, Agenor, Euchenor, Klymenos, Xouthos, Macareus, and five sisters: Klymene, Kallithyia, Eurygone, Kanake and an unnamed one.[15] According to various accounts, Aeolus yoked in marriage his sons and daughters, including Lysidike, in order to preserve concord and affection among them.[16][17]
