Polydora (/ˌpɒlɪˈdɔːrə/; Ancient Greek: Πολυδώρα, romanized: Poludṓra in Attic and Πολυδώρη in Ionic, means 'many-gifts' or 'the shapely'[1]) was the name of several characters in Greek mythology:
- Polydora, the 'handsome' Oceanid, one of the 3,000 water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-spouse Tethys.[1][2][3]
- Polydora, a nymph and one of the 50 Danaïdes, daughter of King Danaus. She was the mother of King Dryops of Oeta, by the river-gods Spercheus[4] or Peneus.[5]
- Polydora, wife of Aphareus of Messenia and thus, the possible mother of his children, Idas, Lynceus and Peisus.[6] In some accounts, the consort of Aphareus was called Arene[7] or Laocoosa.[8]
- Polydora, daughter of Peleus and Antigone, daughter of King Eurytion of Phthia.[9] She married Borus, son of Perieres, who wooed her with large dowry, but regardless of this, Polydora became the mother of Menesthius by Spercheios.[10]
- Polydora, daughter of Perieres and wife of Peleus. In some accounts, she became the mother of Menesthius by Spercheus.[11]
- Polydora, daughter of Meleager. She was married to Protesilaus, and after his death she was so affected by grief that she took her own life.[12]
- Polydora, one of the Amazons.[13]
