Borysthenis
In Greek mythology, Borysthenis (Ancient Greek: Βορυσθενίς) may refer to two distinct individuals:
- Borysthenes, one of the three Muses that were daughters of Apollo. Her sisters were Apollonis and Cephisso.[1]
- Borysthenis, daughter of Borysthenes, god of the Dneper River in Scythia (modern Ukraine) who mothered Targitaus by Zeus.[2][3]

gollark: Maybe, or one data type/API for every protocol.
gollark: Yes.
