Podarge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Podarge (English translation: "fleet-foot") referred to several different beings.

• One of the Harpies is named Podarge (also known as "Celaeno") and was the mother of Balius and Xanthus.
• The rainbow/messenger goddess Iris (sister of the Harpies) is sometimes also referred to as Podarge.
• Podarge was Priam's birth name. He changed it after buying his life from Heracles with a golden veil embroidered by his sister, Hesione. Priam means "ransomed".
