Unsolved:Ianassa
From HandWiki
In Greek mythology, Ianassa (Ancient Greek: Ἰάνασσα, lit. 'wedded voice', 'wedded queen' or 'queen of Ias'[1][2]) or Janassa[3] was one of the 50 Nereids, marine-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[4] She and her other sisters appear to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles at the slaying of his friend Patroclus.[5]
Notes
- ↑ The name is the combination of Anassa (ἄνασσα), ancient Greek word meaning "queen" or "mistress", the feminine form of anax (king) and Ia- / Ias-, associated with the mythological figure Iasus or the root for violet/ healing/ lordly depending on dialect context.
