Alcippe (mother of Eupalamos)

Alcippe ( Greek  Ἀλκίππη ) is a figure in Greek mythology .

She is mentioned in the library of Apollodorus as the wife of Metion, a son of Erechtheus . With him she had a son named Eupalamos, who was the father of Daidalus .

The text passage is, however, ambiguous and is sometimes understood to mean that Alcippe and Eupalamos are the parents of Daedalus.
