Pheidon () was an Argive ruler, usually dated to the first half of the 7th century BCE (perhaps reigning ). While his dating is a matter of dispute and much of the information about him is fragmentary, he is almost always described as a powerful and expansionist ruler. He consolidated Argive control over the surrounding region of the Argolid. If the 7th-century dating is correct, then he defeated Sparta at the Battle of Hysiae in 669/8.

Neobule (, Neoboúlē,  "New Decision" or "Ms. Fickle") was a girl addressed in the 7th-century BC Greek poetry of Archilochus.

Some modern scholars believe that Lycambes, Neobule, and her sisters were not actually the poet's contemporaries but stock characters fr

Anactoria (or Anaktoria; ) is a woman mentioned in the work of the ancient Greek poet Sappho. Sappho, who wrote in the late seventh and early sixth centuries BCE, names Anactoria as the object of her desire in a poem numbered as fragment 16. Another of her poems, fragment 31, is traditionally called the "Ode to Anactoria", although no name appears in it.
