In Greek mythology, Thermodosa (Ancient Greek: Θερμώδωσα, lit. 'warm gift') 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, Thermodosa was slain by the Cretan warrior Meriones, son of Molus.

"Then, as Evandre through the murderous fray with Thermodosa rushed, stood Meriones, a lion in the path, and slew: his spear right to the heart of one he drave, and one stabbed with a lightning sword-thrust 'twixt the hips: leapt through the wounds the life, and fled away."
