Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Diomedes (1)
Daedala to Dentil Molding Deo to Dysnomia
A Greek hero in the Trojan War; the husband of Aigialeia; the son of Tydeus and the captain of the army from Argos.
Diomedes is mentioned often in The Iliad but his most astonishing accomplishment is the wounding of Aphrodite; Athene (Athena) “lifted the mist from his eyes” and allowed him to perceive the Immortals on the battlefield; when Aphrodite attempted to protect her son, Aineias (Aeneas), Diomedes lunged at her and wounded her on the hand.
Diomedes was also one of the Epigoni and helped to successfully capture the city of Thebes a generation after his father had died in an attempt to capture the city.
