In Greek mythology, Derinoe (Ancient Greek: Δηρινόη, romanized: Dērinóē, lit. 'battle-minded' or 'she of the warring mind') was one of the Amazons, a race of warrior-women. She came with their queen, Penthesilia to the Trojan War.

Mythology

During the siege of Troy, Derinoe killed the Achaean warrior Laogonus and was in turn smote in the throat and shoulder by the spear of Ajax the Lesser.
