Dorodoche

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Dorodoche (Ancient Greek: Δωροδόχην) was a native of Pharae in Messenia as the daughter of Ortilochus. She was the wife of Icarius[1] and the supposed mother of his progeny including Penelope, wife of Odysseus. Otherwise, Icarius’ spouse was variously named as Polycaste,[2] Asterodia[1] and the naiad Periboea.[3]
