Leuconoe
In Greek mythology, the name Leuconoe (/ljuːˈkɒnoʊi/; Ancient Greek: Λευκονόη, /leu̯konóɛː/) may refer to:
- Leuconoe, one of the Minyads,[1] more commonly known as Leucippe.
- Leuconoe, daughter of Lucifer (Eosphorus) and mother of Philammon by Apollo.[2] In some accounts, the mother of Philammon was called Chione[3] or Philonis[4].
- In some editions of Hyginus' Fabulae, Leuconoe was the suggested reading for the name of the child of Poseidon and Themisto[5]. The reading Leucon has been accepted as more appropriate.[6]
In Roman literature, Leuconoe is a figure to whom Horace's Ode 11 of Book 1 of Odes is addressed.
Notes
gollark: Yes, in my notes page.
gollark: For instance: what happened to the civilization who made it? Why did they use APL and was this related to their downfall? Do any other pieces work? Can it be repaired somehow? Does anyone have command keys?
gollark: Anyway, you could do lots of things with this.
gollark: Java, probably.
gollark: It's barely functional and somehow the remaining bit which is still usable is an APL interface.
