Pirene (mythology) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pirene (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Pirene or ''Peirene'' ((ギリシア語:Πειρήνη)), a nymph, was either the daughter of the river god Asopus,〔Diodorus Siculus, ''Library of History'', 4.72.1-5〕〔Bacchylides, Fragment 9〕 Laconian king Oebalus,〔''Megalai Ehoiai'' fr. 258, cited in Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'', 2.2.2〕 or the River God Achelous,〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'', 2.2.2〕 depending on different sources. By Poseidon she became the mother of Lecheas and Cenchrias. When Cenchrias was unintentionally killed by Artemis, Pirene's grief was so profound that she became nothing but tears and turned into the fountain outside the gates of Corinth.〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'', 2.3.3〕 The Corinthians had a small sanctuary dedicated to Pirene by the fountain where honey-cakes were offered to her to during the dry months of early summer. The fountain was sacred to the Muses and it was there that Bellerophon found Pegasus (as Polyidus had claimed), drinking, and tamed him.〔Pindar, Odes Olympian 13.3〕 ==References==
