Arisbe
Arisbe can be:
- Another name for Batea , a person in Greek Mythology
- An early (pre-Hecuba) wife of King Priam of Troy, also from Greek Mythology
- A place name in Homer's Iliad. It is used twice. Once in Book VI, in which an account of the slaying of Axylus is given, who lived in 'well-built Arisbe'; and in Book XXI, in which Eëtion sends Lycaon to Arisbe after ransoming him.
- Charles S. Peirce's house, which he named Arisbe, inspired to do so by the account of Axylus, who welcomed all passers-by into his house in Arisbe.
