Agamede (c. twelfth century BC) was, according to Homer, a Greek physician acquainted with the healing powers of all the plants that grow upon the earth.[3] She was born in Elis, a princess as the eldest daughter of Augeas, King of the Epeans,[4] and was married to Mulius, the first man killed in battle by Nestor during a war between Elis and Pylos.[5] Hyginus makes her the mother of Actor and Dictys by Poseidon.[6] She was called Perimede by both Propertius and Theocritus.[7] By the Hellenistic period (c. 4th to 1st centuries BC), Agamede had become a sorceress-figure, much like Circe or Medea.[8]
