A daughter of Agamemnon named in both Homer and Apollodorus, the one stable name amid their incompatible catalogues of his daughters.1
I
Agamemnon names Chrysothemis first among the three daughters waiting in his halls, followed in Homer by Laodice and Iphianassa. He offers Achilles marriage to whichever daughter he chooses.2⚖
II
Apollodorus preserves Chrysothemis but replaces Homer's other two names with Electra and Iphigenia. The shared name does not justify silently identifying Laodice with Electra or Iphianassa with Iphigenia.3⚖
