Merope (/ˈmɛrəpiː/; Ancient Greek: Μερόπη "with face turned" derived from μερος meros "part" and ωψ ops "face, eye") was originally the name of several characters in Greek mythology.
- Merope, one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-wife Tethys. She married Clymenus, son of Helius, and had children with him: Phaethon and the girls called Heliades.[1]
- Merope, one of the Pleiades, daughter of Atlas and Pleione.[2]
- Merope, one of the Heliades, daughter of either Helios and Clymene or of Clymenus (Helios' son) and Merope, one of the Oceanids.[3]
- Merope, an Athenian princess as the daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens and possibly Praxithea, daughter of Phrasimus and Diogenia. She may have been the mother of Daedalus.[4] The latter was attributed to various parentage: (1) Eupalamus[5] and Alcippe,[6] (2) Metion[7] and Iphinoe,[8] (3) Phrasmede[9] or (4) Palamaon.[10]
- Merope, also called Aero,[11] was the consort or daughter of Oenopion.[12]
- Merope, a queen of Onchestus as the wife of King Megareus and mother of Hippomenes.[13]
- Merope, a Dorian who became the foster mother of Oedipus;[14] otherwise the wife of Polybus was also called Periboea.[15]
