Hecamede

Hecamede

As written in Homer's The Iliad, Hecamede, daughter of Arsinous, was captured from the isle of Tenedos and given as captive to King Nestor. Described as "skilled as a goddess", "fair" and "proud", Hecamede was not a concubine but a serving woman. In her most prolonged mention she serves Nestor and Prince Machaon Pramnian wine, a medicinal drink.
