Deidamia II of Epirus
Deidamia or Deidameia ((ギリシア語:Δηϊδάμεια)) or Laodamia ((ギリシア語:Λαοδάμεια)) (died c. 233 BC〔Robert Malcolm Errington, ''A History of Macedonia'' (1990), p. 174.〕) was a Greek princess, daughter〔(Pausanias, Description of Greece )〕 of Pyrrhus II of Epirus, king of Epirus. After the death of her father and that of her uncle Ptolemy, she was the last surviving representative of the royal Aeacid dynasty.〔Errington, ''A History of Macedonia'', p. 174.〕 She had a sister, Nereis, who married Gelo of Syracuse. During a rebellion in Epirus her sister sent her 800 mercenaries from Gaul. Part of the Molossians〔M. B. Hatzopoulos, Epirus, ''4000 Years of Greek History and Civilization'' (1997, ISBN 960-213-377-5), p. 80.〕 supported her, and with the aid of the mercenaries she briefly took Ambracia. The Epirotes, however, determined to secure their liberty by extirpating the whole royal family, resolved to put her to death; she fled for refuge to the temple of Artemis, but was murdered〔Nicholas Geoffrey Lemprière, ''The Cambridge Ancient History'', Vol. 7, Part 1 (Hammond, 1970: ISBN 0-521-23445-X), p. 452.〕 in the sanctuary itself by Milo, a man already responsible of matricide, who shortly after this crime committed suicide. The date of this event cannot be accurately fixed, but it occurred during the reign of Demetrius II in Macedonia (239–229 BC), and probably in the early part of it.
Another Deidamia〔(Apollodorus, Library )〕 was a daughter of Lycomedes, king of Scyros, and mother of Pyrrhus by Achilles.
