Unsolved:Eupompe

From HandWiki

In Greek mythology, Eupompe (Ancient Greek: Εὐπόμπη, romanized: Eupompê, lit. 'she of good escort', 'good journey' or 'the fine procession'[1][2]) was the "rosy-armed" Nereid of good festive or processional voyage.[3] She was one of the 50 sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[4] She may be the same with Eumolpe.[5]

Notes
