Asopis

From Handwiki

Asopis (Ancient Greek: Ἀσωπίς or Ἀσωπίδος) was the name of two women in Greek mythology.

  • Asopis, one of the naiad daughters of the river-god Asopus and Metope, the nymph daughter of the river Ladon. She was sister to Pelasgus (Pelagon[1]), Ismenus, Chalcis, Corcyra, Salamis, Sinope, Aegina, Peirene, Thebe, Tanagra, Thespia, Ornea[2] and Harpina.[3]
  • Asopis, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[4] or by one of his many wives.[5] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[6] Asopis with her other sisters, except for one,[7] all laid with the hero in a night,[8] a week[9] or for 50 days[10] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[11] Asopis bore Heracles a son, Mentor.[12]
