Arisbe (daughter of Merops)
- Arisbe (daughter of Merops)
In Greek mythology, Arisbe was a daughter of Merops of Percote, a seer. In a non-Homeric story, she married Priam, later king of Troy, and bore him a son named Aesacus. Priam subsequently divorced her in favor of Hecuba, daughter of King Dymas of Phrygia. Arisbe then married Hyrtacus, to whom she bore a son named Asius.
The name "Arisbe" is shared by other characters in Greek myth, including the wife of Dardanus (also called Bateia) and a daughter of Macareus. There was a town named "Arisbe" in the Troad and another on the island of Lesbos. Arisbe, then, may be an eponym.
