Argia (daughter of Adrastus)

When Oedipus had died at Thebes, Argia came with others to the funeral of Oedipus, her father-in-law.^[5]

She is remembered in De Mulieribus Claris, a collection of biographies of historical and mythological women by the Florentine author Giovanni Boccaccio, composed in 1361–62. It is notable as the first collection devoted exclusively to biographies of women in Western literature.^[6]

InDante's Inferno, she is found in Limbo.
