Parthenope (Siren) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Parthenope (Siren)
Parthenope () was one of the Sirens in Greek mythology. Her name means "Maiden-voiced". ==Myth== According to Greek legend, Parthenope was the daughter of the god Achelous and the Muse Terpsichore.〔 She cast herself into the sea and drowned when her songs failed to entice Odysseus. Her body washed ashore at Naples, on the island of Megaride, where the Castel dell'Ovo is now located. When people from the city of Cumae settled there, they named their city Parthenope in her honor. Roman myth tells a different version of the tale, in which a centaur called Vesuvius was enamored with Parthenope. In jealousy, Zeus turned the centaur into a volcano and Parthenope into the city of Naples. Thwarted in his desire, Vesuvius's anger is manifested in the mountain's frequent eruptions.
