Comaetho

In Greek mythology, Comaetho was a Taphian[?] princess who loved Amphitryon. The Taphians were at war with Thebes, led by Amphitryon. The Taphians, however, remained invincible until Comaetho out of love for Amphitryon cut off her father's golden hair, the possession of which rendered him immortal. Having defeated the enemy, Amphitryon put Comaetho to death and handed over the kingdom of the Taphians to Cephalus.
