Agamede (Lesbos)
Agamede (Ancient Greek: Ἀγαμήδη) was a town of ancient Lesbos. According to Stephanus of Byzantium, it was named after Agamede, a daughter of Macar.[1] The town had already disappeared in Pliny's day.[2]
The site of Agamede has been identified in 2002 with the ancient ruins on a small hill called Vounaros 3 km north of ancient Pyrrha.[3]
