Antinoe, daughter of King
Cepheus of
Tegea. Instructed by an oracle, she removed the inhabitants of
Mantinea from the old settlement founded by
Mantineus, son of
Lycaon, to a new one. She was guided to the new site by a snake, and from that circumstance the river on the banks of which the new city was founded received the name Ophis (
Greek for "snake").[3] The tomb of Antinoe, known as "The Common Hearth", was shown in Mantinea.[4]
Antinoe, daughter of
Pelias, King of
Iolcus. She was a sister of
Asteropeia. After the sisters had been tricked by
Medea into killing their own father, they had to flee from
Iolcus to
Arcadia, where they ended their days and were buried.[5]
^Pausanias, 8.11.3; note the contradiction to the account of the Bibliotheca (1. 9. 10), which informs that Pelias' daughters were four,
Alcestis, Hippothoe, Pelopia and Peisidice. Pausanias refers to the painter
Micon for the names, and notes that the sisters were never mentioned by names in any poetic works known to him.
