Korkyra
In Greek mythology, Corcyra or Korkyra was the daughter of the Asopos river and the nymph Metope. According to myth Poseidon fell in love with the beautiful nymph Korkyra, kidnapped her and brought her to a hitherto unnamed island and offered her name to the place: ''Korkyra'' or the now-modern ''Kerkyra'' (known in English as Corfu, a name that is unrelated by origin). Together they had a child Phaiax after whom the inhabitants of the island, Phaiakes, were named; their name was later transliterated in Latinate orthography to Phaeacians. 〔Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica. 4.557 ()〕〔Diodorus Siculus, Library of History, 4.72.3 ()〕 == References == 〔
