| 释义 |
In Greek mythology, Astymedusa ({{lang-grc|Ἀστυμέδουσα}}, Astymédousa) is occasionally named as a later wife of Oedipus. After parting with Jocasta or after the death of Euryganeia, who was his second wife,[1] Oedipus married Astymedousa.[2] Astymedusa accused Polynices and Eteocles of attempting to rape her, thus driving Oedipus into a frenzy.[3] This is held as an alternate cause for the curse which led to the fraternal discord at the heart of the myth of the wars at Thebes.[4] References1. ^Pausanias 9.5.11; cf. {{harvtxt|Watson|1994|p=237}}. 2. ^The DScholia to Iliad 4.376 places the union following Oedipus' discovery that Jocasta was his mother; the marriage took place following Euryganeia's death according to the scholia to Euripides, Phoenissae 53 (citing Pherecydes, FGrHist 3 F 48). 3. ^Eustathius on Homer, Iliad 4.376–81 (vol. i, p. 767) . 4. ^{{harvtxt|Watson|1994|p=237}}.
