In Greek mythology Marpessa (Ancient Greek: Μάρπησσα Márpessa ‘the robbed one’) was an Aetolian princess and a granddaughter of Ares. According to another myth she was the daughter of Evenus and Alcippe. She loved Idas and was loved by him in return. She was also loved by the god Apollo. When Idas asked to marry Marpessa Evenus refused his request. Idas went to Poseidon and begged for the use of a winged chariot.
