A daughter of Agamemnon named in the Iliad among the three princesses waiting in the halls at Mycenae — offered with her sisters as bride to Achilles when the king sought to appease the hero's wrath.1
When Agamemnon tried to win Achilles back to the war, he named three daughters in his well-builded hall — Chrysothemis first, then Laodice, then Iphianassa — and offered whichever the hero chose without gifts of wooing, with seven well-peopled cities besides.2⚖
Nestor repeats the same catalogue when he urges Patroclus to remind Achilles of the offer: Chrysothemis, Laodice, and Ophianassa — a slight variation in the third name within Homer's own tradition, but Laodice stands firm in both lists as the middle daughter.3⚖
Apollodorus, in his account of Agamemnon's children, preserves Chrysothemis but names Electra and Iphigenia where Homer had Laodice and Iphianassa. The atlas keeps Homer's Laodice distinct from Apollodorus' Electra under the daughters-identities dispute.4⚖
