Salamis ( /ˈsæləmɪs/ SAL-ə-miss; Ancient Greek: Σαλαμίς) was a nymph in Greek mythology, the daughter of the river-god Asopus [1] and Metope, daughter of Ladon, another river god. [2] She was sister to Corcyra, Sinope, Aegina, Peirene, Cleone, Thebe, Tanagra, Thespia, Asopis, Ornea, Chalcis ( Euboea), Harpina, Antiope, Nemea, Plataea ( Oeroe), Pelagon ( Pelasgus) and Ismenus.

Along with her sisters Corcyra and Euboea, Salamis also shared their fate after they were all carried away by Poseidon from their father. [4] The god took her to the island which was named after her by Cychreus, their son who became the first king of the island. [5]
In some accounts, she became the mother of Saracon by Zeus. [6]
