In Greek mythology, Kalyke (), Calyce or Calycia is the name of several characters. *A daughter of Aeolus and Enarete. Some sources state that she was the mother of Endymion, king of Elis, by her husband Aethlius, king of Elis〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' 5. 1. 2.〕 or by Zeus.〔''Bibliotheca'' 1. 7. 5〕 Other sources make her mother, not wife, of Aethlius (again by Zeus), and omit her giving birth to Endymion.〔Hesiod, ''Catalogue of Women'' frr. 10(a) and 245 (quoted in scholia on Apollonius Rhodius, ''Argonautica'', 4. 57).〕 *One of the Nysiads, the nymphs who nursed Dionysus.〔Nonnus, ''Dionysiaca'' 14. 219 ff; 29. 251〕 *Also called Harpale or Scamandrodice, the mother of Poseidon's son Cycnus.〔Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' 157; Scholia on Pindar Olympian Ode 2. 147; Tzetzes on Lycophron 233.〕 She is given as the daughter of Hecaton. Cycnus was born in secret, and left to die on the coast, but went on to become a king.〔(A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. By various writers. Ed. by William Smith. Illustrated by numerous engravings on wood. Author: Smith, William, Sir, ed. 1813-1893. )〕 *A chaste maiden who was in love with one Euathlus and prayed to Aphrodite that she may become his wife rather than mistress. Nevertheless, Euathlus rejected her and she threw herself off a cliff.〔Athenaeus, ''Banquet of the Learned'', 14. 11, referring to Stesichorus〕 ==Modern references== *The lunar crater Kalyke is named after the first Kalyke, as is a moon of Jupiter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calyce (mythology)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
