Oceanid of Greek mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Callirhoe (or Kallirhoe, Callirrhoe) (Ancient Greek: Καλλιρό, Καλλιρρόη, or Καλλιρρόης means 'beautiful flow' or beautiful stream'[1]) was one of the Oceanids, daughters of the Titans: Oceanus and Tethys.[2][3]
Family
Callirhoe had consorted with Chrysaor, Neilus, Poseidon and Manes. By Chrysaor, she became the mother of the monsters Geryon[4] and Echidna[5] while Chione was her daughter by the river-god of Egypt, Neilus.[6] Meanwhile, to Poseidon, Callirhoe bore Minyas, founder of Minyan Orchomenus,[7][AI-generated source?] and to Manes, Cotys, a king of Maeonia.[8]
Mythology
Callirhoe was among the Oceanids who accompanied Persephone when the daughter of Demeter was abducted by the lord of the dead, Hades.[9]
