one of the Sirens of Greek mythology
Aglaope
Aglaope is one of the Sirens of Greek mythology, beings whose song lured sailors. Her name means "with lambent voice", and ancient authors gave her varying genealogies.
The myth
According to tradition, Aglaope was the daughter of the river-god Achelous. Sources do not agree on her mother: some name the Muse Melpomene, others her sister Terpsichore or Sterope, daughter of King Porthaon of Calydon. The number of her sisters varies too, as some accounts mention Peisinoe or Molpe, and others only Thelxiepeia or Thelxinoe.
Like the other Sirens, Aglaope belonged to a group of beings whose singing drew sailors toward the shore. Her name also appears in the variants Aglaopheme and Aglaophonos, which emphasize the beauty of her voice.
