thumb|upright=1.5|Poseidon approaches Amymone, whose identity is symbolized by the water jug, with the Cupid above representing the erotic motive of the scene (Roman-era mosaic, House of Dionysos at Paphos) In Greek mythology, Amymone (; , "blameless; innocent") was a daughter of Danaus, king of Libya and Europe, a queen. As the "blameless" Danaid, her name identifies her as, perhaps, identical to Hypermnestra ("great wooing" or "high marriage"), the one Danaid who did not assassinate her Egyptian husband on their wedding night, as her 49 sisters did. (See the myth at the entry for Danaus.) The author of the Bibliotheca, however, mentions both Hypermnestra and Amymone in his list of names for the Danaids.
