In
Greek mythology, Panopea (
Ancient Greek: Πανόπεια Panopeia) or Panope (Πανόπη) may refer to various characters. The names mean 'panorama' or means 'of the beautiful husband'.[1]
Panope or Poenope,[2] the
Nereid of the sea panorama.[1] She was one of the 50 marine-
nymph daughters of the '
Old Man of the Sea'
Nereus and the
OceanidDoris.[3] Panope, together with
Doto and
Galatea, escorted her sister
Thetis out of the sea to her wedding with
Peleus.[4] Later on, Panope and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of
Achilles for his slain friend
Patroclus.[5]
Panopea, Panopeia[6] or Panopaea[2], another 'virgin' Nereid[7] who together with her sisters, Thetis,
Nesaea,
Spio,
Thalia,
Cymodoce and
Melite, helped the hero
Aeneas and his crew during a storm.[8] She may be the same with her above supposed sister who was doubled by
Hyginus in his account.
Panope, a
Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King
Thespius and
Megamede[9] or by one of his many wives.[10] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the
Cithaeronian lion,[11] Panope with her other sisters, except for one,[12] all laid with the hero in a night,[13] a week[14] or for 50 days[15] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[16] Panope bore
Heracles a son,
Threpsippas.[17]
