Argyripa

Argyripa is ancient name for Arpi, a city in Apulia. A city found by the Argive hero, Diomedes, who had fought against the Trojans at Troy. According to the Aeneid, Virgil says that Diomedes migrated to Apulia when his wife Aegialeia took a lover Cometes, who drove him out of Argos. Diomedes arrived with some Argives followers.

When emissary from Turnus of Ardea, arrived asking for aid in the war against Aeneas and the Trojans, Diomedes refused to fight another war; he had lost all desires for war against the Trojans. He advised Turnus should make peace with Aeneas. Diomedes had lost his wife and home due to Venus' (Aphrodite's) machination, because he had wounded the goddess and her son in Troy, so he didn't want to offend the goddess again.
