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'.
-
Panope or Poenope,
[Hyginus, Fabulae Preface (Latin ed. Jacob Micyllus)] the Nereids of the sea panorama.[Homer, Iliad 18.45; Apollodorus, 1.2.7] Panope, together with Doto and Galatea, escorted her sister Thetis out of the sea to her wedding with Peleus.[Valerius Flaccus, 1.130 ff.] 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.[Homer, Iliad 18.39-51]
-
Panopea, Panopeia
[Hesiod, Theogony 250] who together with her sisters, Thetis, Nesaea, Spio, Thalia, Cymodoce and Melite, helped the hero Aeneas and his crew during a storm.[Virgil, Aeneid 5.825] She may be the same with her above supposed sister who was doubled by Hyginus in his account.
-
Panope, a Thespiae princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede
[Apollodorus, 2.4.10; John Tzetzes, Chiliades 2.222] or by one of his many wives.[Diodorus Siculus, 4.29.2] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[Apollodorus, 2.4.9] Panope with her other sisters, except for one,[Pausanias, 9.27.6; Diodorus Siculus, 4.29.3, f.n. 51] all laid with the hero in a night,[Pausanias, 9.27.6–7; Gregorius Nazianzenus, Orat. IV, Contra Julianum I (Migne S. Gr. 35.661)] a week[Athenaeus, 13.4 with Herodorus as the authority; Diodorus Siculus, 4.29.3, f.n. 51] or for 50 days[Apollodorus, 2.4.10; Diodorus Siculus, 4.29.3; Tzetzes, Chiliades 2.224] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[Apollodorus, 2.4.10; Diodorus Siculus, 4.29.3] Panope bore Heracles a son, Threpsippas.[Apollodorus, 2.7.8]
