In Greek mythology, Panopea (Ancient Greek: Πανόπεια Panopeia) or Panope (Πανόπη) may refer to various characters. The names mean 'panorama' or means 'of the beautiful husband'.[1]
- Panope or Poenope,[2] the Nereid of the sea panorama.[1] She was one of the 50 marine-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[3] Panope, together with Doto and Galatea, escorted her sister Thetis out of the sea to her wedding with Peleus.[4] Later on, Panope and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus.[5]
- Panopea, Panopeia[6] or Panopaea[2], another 'virgin' Nereid[7] who together with her sisters, Thetis, Nesaea, Spio, Thalia, Cymodoce and Melite, helped the hero Aeneas and his crew during a storm.[8] She may be the same with her above supposed sister who was doubled by Hyginus in his account.
- Panope, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[9] or by one of his many wives.[10] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[11] Panope with her other sisters, except for one,[12] all laid with the hero in a night,[13] a week[14] or for 50 days[15] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[16] Panope bore Heracles a son, Threpsippas.[17]
