In Greek mythology, Leipephilene () was the daughter of Iolaus and Megara. She was renowned for her beauty which was compared to that of an Olympian goddess. Leipephilene married Phylas and bore two children to him, Hippotes and Thero.Pausanias, 9.40.5–6, quoting the Hesiodic Megalai Ehoiai (fr. 252 Merkelbach–West)
Name The name form "Leipephilene" is a corruption, and has been variously emended by some editors as "Leipephile" (), "Hippophile" () or "Deiphile" (). The precise original form remains unknown.Realencyclopädie der Classischen Altertumswissenschaft, Band VA, Halbband 10, Thapsos-Thesara (1934), s. 2444, s. v. Thero
