Harpalyce — Ἁρπαλύκη.
Listed by Hyginus among the most dedicated daughters (piissimae) in mythology, Harpalyce was the daughter of the Thracian king Harpalycus. When her mother died, her father provided for her nourishment with the milk of cows and mares and taught her martial arts. This proved especially advantageous later, when he was assaulted by Neoptolemus returning from Troy; Harpalyce saved her gravely wounded father and routed the assailant. After a civil uprising deposed Harpalycus and left him dead, she withdrew from society and became a huntress and a rustler, destroying cattlesheds and making life impossible for herdsmen.
      After her eventual death at the cattlemen's hands, a cult was established for her veneration. Servius Auctus ad Aen. 3.17 informs that this cult involved ritual fighting on Harpalyce's grave; and Vergil's Camilla is modelled upon her (Aen. 11,532-915). (Cf. Wilamowitz, Kleine Schriften 2:106-108.)

      One should probably disambiguate from this Harpalyce a) the incestuous daughter of Clymenus (Euphorion's Thrax) and b) the love-lorn admirer of Iphicles who took her own life to spite him. However, Lightfoot's commentary on Parthenius Erotica Pathemata (OUP 1999), 446ff. suggests that there is potentially some purpose afoot in Parthenius' and/or Vergil's melding of the "two Harpalycae (as well as a third...)".
