Η τροφός των Μουσών, μητέρα του Κρότου (βλ. Αστερισμός Τοξότης).
Η μητέρα των Μουσών
One of the nine Muses, Calliope was the Muse of epic poetry, and was
pictured with a tablet and stylus, or with a scroll.
She had many children by different gods: Carybantes by Zeus, Hymen,
Ialemus and Linus by Apollo, Rhesus by the river Strymon, the Sirens, Orpheus
and Oeagrus. All of these children, except Rhesus, had to do with music or poetry.
Calliope had a special weakness for Achilles, and taught him how to
entertain and enhance the morals of his friends by singing at their feasts.
When Aphrodite and Persephone argued who would get Adonis, Calliope
was called in by Zeus as mediator. Her decision was that each goddess would be
with him a certain part of the year.

ΑΛΑΛΚΟΜΕΝΑΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΩΤΙΑ
Alalkomenia, one of the daughters of Ogyges, who as well as her two sisters, Thelxionoea and Aulis, were regarded as supernatural beings, who watched over oaths and saw that they were not taken rashly or thoughtlessly. Their name was Praxidikai, and they had a temple in common at the foot of the Telphusian mount in Boeotia. The representations of these divinities consisted of mere heads, and no parts of animals were sacrificed to them, except heads. (Paus. ix. 33. Β§ 2, 4; Panyasis, ap. Steph. Byz. s. v. Tremile; Suid. s. v. Praxidike; MΓΌller, Orchom. p. 128, &c.)

ΕΛΙΚΩΝ (Βουνό) ΒΟΙΩΤΙΑ
Κόρη του ποταμού Τερμησσού.
Aganippe. A nymph of the well of the same name at the foot of Mount Helicon, in Boeotia, which was considered sacred to the Muses, and believed to have the power of inspiring those who drank of it. The nymph is called a daughter of the river-god Permessus. (Paus. ix. 29.3; Virg. Eclog. x. 12.) The Muses are sometimes called Aganippides.
Agamippis, is used by Ovid (Fast. v. 7) as an epithet of Hippocrene; its meaning however is not quite clear. It is derived from Agnippe, the well or nymph, and as Aganippides is used to designate the Muses, Aganippis Hippocrene may mean nothing but " Hippocrene, sacred to the Muses."
Πρώτοι θυσίασαν στον Ελικώνα για τις Μουσες και ονόμασαν το βουνό ιερό των Μουσών στους πρόποδες του οποίου ίδρυσαν την πόλη Ασκρα .
ΚΟΡΩΝΕΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΩΤΙΑ
Γιος του Αμφικτύονa, απ' αυτόν πήρε το όνομά του το Ιερό της Ιτωνίας Αθηνάς (Παυσ. 9,34,1).
