In Greek mythology, the name Batea or Bateia (/bəˈtiːə/ bə-TEE-ə; Ancient Greek: Βάτεια) refers to the following individuals:
- Batea, daughter of King Teucer of the Teucrians.[1]
- Batea, a Naiad, who married King Oebalus of Sparta. Their sons were Hippocoon, Tyndareus and Icarius.[2] She also becomes somewhat relevant in Plato's dialogues. Plato implies Batea is her name given by the Gods and Myrina the one called by mortals in Cratylus (dialogue).
