Cyane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Cyane was a nymph who tried to prevent Hades from abducting Persephone. Upon failure, she dissolved away in tears and melted into her pool.
In the television show Xena:Warrior Princess, Cyane is the name adopted by all queens of the Northern Amazons. The current Queen Cyane was thought to be previously named Eris but the character would have to have aged 25 years if that were to be true.
There also have been two ships named the USS Cyane.
