Demonassa (daughter of Amphiaraoh)
Demonassa ( ancient Greek Δημώνασσα Demṓnassa ) is the daughter of Amphiaraos and Eriphyle in Greek mythology . Her siblings were Eurydice , Amphilochus and Alkmaion .
Demonassa was the wife of Thersandro , king of Thebes and participant in the Trojan War . She is the mother of Teisamenos , who - initially represented by Peneleos as guardian - succeeded his father in the royal dignity of Thebes. She was represented together with her mother, her sister and her brother Alkmaion on the Ark of Kypselus , a consecration gift in the sanctuary of Olympia . In a very similar scene, according to an inscription ( Δημοάναοοα Demoanooa ) , she was shown as a little girl on a now lost Corinthian crater in Berlin . A representation on a red-figure Attic hydria is preserved in the Berlin Collection of Antiquities (inventory number F 2395)
