Aglaope (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Aglaope[1] (Ancient Greek: Ἀγλαόπη), also called Aglaopheme[2] (Ἀγλαοφήμη) and Aglaophonos[3] (Ἀγλαόφωνος), is the name of one of the Sirens.[4] Her name means "with lambent voice". Aglaope was attested as a daughter of the river-god Achelous and the Muse Melpomene[5] or her sister Terpsichore[6] or Sterope, daughter of King Porthaon of Calydon.[7] She may have two or one sister(s), namely Peisinoe[8] or Molpe,[3] or just Thelxiepeia[9] or Thelxinoe.[3]
