Euippe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Euippe or Evippe (Ancient Greek: Εὐίππη; English translation: "Good Mare") is the name of eight women in Greek mythology:

  • Euippe of Paionia, the mother, by Pierus, of the Pierides, nine sisters who challenged the Muses and, on their defeat, were turned into magpies.[5]
  • Euippe, daughter of Daunus, the king of a people in Italy. She was loved by Alaenus, half-brother of Diomedes.[8]
  • Euippe, mother of Meriones by Molus.[9] Hyginus referred to her by a different name, which survives in a corrupt form, *Melphis.[10]
