Eumolpe
(Redirected from Eumolpe (mythology))
In Greek mythology, Eumolpe (Ancient Greek: Εὐμόλπη, lit. 'the fine singer' or 'good singer'[1]) was one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[2][3] She may be the same with Eupompe.[4]
Notes
[edit]- ↑ The name is a combination of Eu- (εὖ), means "good," "well," or "fine" and Molpe (μολπή), means "song," "melody," or "singing" (often combined with dance or poetic chanting).
