mythology family ♥︎ parthenope for @thatpunygoddess
parthenope was one of the sirens in greek mythology. her name means “maiden-voiced“. according to legend, parthenope was the daughter of the god achelous and the muse terpsichore. she cast herself into the sea and drowned when her songs failed to entice odysseus. her body washed ashore at naples, on the island of megaride, where the castel dell’ovois now located. when people from the city of cumae settled there, they named their city parthenope in her honour.
