αρμίδα / armida is not a Greek word.
The only reference I know to 'Armida', is the title of a poem by Nikos Kavvadias.
The poem talks about the pirate ship of Captain Jimmy which is loaded with hashish. The crew smokes the whole cargo before they reach Peru and some illusions take place on the way. See 1st link for the poem.

It seems that Armida refers to the heroine of Torquato Tasso's

Opera Jerusalem Delivered. Armida falls in love with Rinaldo -soldier in the First Crusade- and creates an enchanted garden where she holds him a lovesick prisoner. The

"Armida
