In Greek mythology, Marpessa/ˌmɑːrˈpɛsə/ (Ancient Greek: Μάρπησσα, romanized: Márpēssa, "the robbed one" or "snatcher" or "gobbler"[1]) may refer to the following figures:
Marpessa, an Aetolian princess and daughter of Evenus.[2]
Marpessa or Marpesia, an Amazon queen.
Marpessa, a Theban woman whose betrothed, Phylleus, was killed by Tydeus during the campaign of the Seven against Thebes.[3]
Marpessa, the woman who led the women of Tegea to defend the city during a war from an invasion led by the Spartan king Charilaus.[4] Marpessa's weapon was later put in plain sight in the Temple of Athena Alea, a focal point for the local population in Tegea, showing the importance of this story and the character of Marpessa in the collective memory of the Tegeans.[5]
