Themisto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Themisto (/θəˈmɪstoʊ/; Ancient Greek: Θεμιστώ, romanized: Themistṓ, lit. 'belonging to the law or customs'[1]) was a Thessalian princess as the daughter of King Hypseus of Lapiths[2] and the naiad Chlidanope.[3] Her name is derived from the Ancient Greek word: "θεμιστος" which means "belonging to the law", or "belonging to the customs".[4]
Themisto's sisters were Cyrene[5], Alcaea[6] and Astyagyia[7]. She was the third and last wife of Athamas, a Boeotian king. According to some sources, the couple had four children: Leucon, Erythrius, Schoeneus, and Ptous[8][9]. In other sources, there were but two: Sphincius and Orchomenus[10], or else Schoeneus and Leucon[11]. Some say that the father of Leucon was Poseidon (see also Leuconoe)[12].
