Ismene (Gaby Andre) is one of the minor antagonists in the 1960 Italian peplum film, "Goliath and the Dragon".

Ismene teamed up with King Eurystheus (Broderick Crawford) and Tindar (Giancarlo Sbragia) in trying to kill Goliath and his brother Illus.

When Alicnoe (Wandisa Guida) agrees to deliver a vial of poison to Illus to give to Goliath. However, Alicnoe deceives them, and leaves the poison in the woods. Ismene has her watched by her guards, who expose her deceit. As a result, Alicnoe is thrown in the dungeon.

Alicnoe is later seen at the coliseum with Eurystheus and Tindar as they torture and execute criminals. This is the last we see of Ismene. It is probable that she is brought to justice, when Eurystheus and Tindar are killed, but this is not seen on screen.
