Topic: History

 From HandWiki - Reading time: 3 min

In Greek mythology, Hesperia (Ancient Greek: Ἑσπερια) or Hesperie, may refer to the following characters and places:

  • Hesperia, one of the Hesperides; in some versions, the daughter of Hesperus.[1]
  • Hesperia, also called Asterope, the wife or desired lover of Aesacus and daughter of the river Cebren[2][3]
  • Hesperia as "western land" is the ancient Greek name of Italy, also used in Latin epic poetry,[4] in gender either a feminine noun or a neuter plural adjective used substantively, spelt the same but with different definite articles, and with the accent shifted from the penult to the antepenult.[5] This becomes Latin Hesperia or Hesperius,[6][7] the latter not a distinct nominal form, but simply an adjective used substantively, viz. Vergil's Aeneid VI, 6[8]
  • Hesperia, the Iberian Peninsula and Northwest Africa, further to the west, used in both Ancient Greek and Byzantine sources[4]
