In Greek mythology, Pelopia or Pelopea or Pelopeia (Ancient Greek: Πελόπεια) was a name attributed to four individuals:
- Pelopia, a Theban princess as one of the Niobids, children of King Amphion and Niobe, daughter of King Tantalus of Lydia. She was slain by Artemis.[1]
- Pelopia, daughter of Pelias, King of Iolcus by either Anaxibia or Phylomache, daughter of Amphion.[2] She appears briefly in the Argonautica, giving her brother Acastus a mantle of double fold before he sails off with the Argonauts.[3] She and her sisters killed their father, having been tricked by Medea into believing this was needed to rejuvenate him.[4]
- Pelopia, mother of Cycnus by Ares.[5]
- Pelopia, daughter of Thyestes by whom she mothered Aegisthus.[6]
