Zeuxo (mythology)

Nymph of Greek mythology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Zeuxo (/ˈzjks/; Ancient Greek: Ζευξώ means 'yoke' or 'cart'[2]) was one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-spouse Tethys.[3] Her name appears in Hesiod's catalogue of Oceanid names; no other literary mention of her survives.

Zeuxo pours wine to Chrysippus. Interior from an Attic red-figured kylix, ca. 490-480 BC, from Capua.[1]

She also appears in a vase painting by the Brygos Painter in which she serves wine to a warrior named Chrysippus.[4]

The main belt asteroid 438 Zeuxo was named after her.
