Unsolved:Aganippe (naiad)
From HandWiki
Short description: Ancient Greek mythological figure
In Greek mythology, Aganippe (Template:Ipac; Ancient Greek: Ἀγανίππη means 'mare who kills mercifully'[1]) was the name of both a spring and the Naiad (a Crinaea) associated with it.[2] The spring is in Boeotia, near Thespiae, at the base of Mount Helicon,[3] and was associated with the Muses who were sometimes called Aganippides. Drinking from her well, it was considered to be a source of poetic inspiration. The nymph is called a daughter of the river-god Permessus (called Termessus by Pausanias).[4][5] Ovid associates Aganippe with Hippocrene.[6]
