In Greek mythology, Arsinoe (sometimes spelled Arsinoë) was a Messenian princess, the daughter of Leucippus and, in some accounts, Philodice, and the sister of Hilaeira and Phoebe. By the god Apollo she was said to have borne Asclepius, the god of medicine, along with a daughter Eriopis. This maternity was disputed in antiquity: in a rival and more widespread tradition Asclepius's mother was Coronis, daughter of Phlegyas, and the version naming Arsinoe was held to be a fiction inserted to please the Messenians. At Sparta she had a sanctuary and was worshipped as a heroine.

I.Family
Arsinoe was the daughter of Leucippus and, in some accounts, of Philodice. She was the sister of Hilaeira and Phoebe, who were abducted by the Dioscuri.
II.Mythology
By the god Apollo, Arsinoe bore Asclepius, called "leader of men," and Eriopis, "with the lovely hair."
Her motherhood of Asclepius was contested. In another tradition the mother of Asclepius was Coronis, daughter of Phlegyas, and it was said that the claim of Asclepius being the son of Arsinoe was a fiction invented by Hesiod, or by one of Hesiod's interpolators, just to please the Messenians.
III.Cult
At Sparta, Arsinoe had a sanctuary and was worshipped as a heroine.
