In
Greek mythology, Alciope may refer to the three different characters:
Alciope, the
nymph-mother
Celmisius.[1][2] In this capacity, she was probably the Alciope who bore to
Cronus the
Dactyls, one of which Celmis was named.[3]
Alciope, the supposed name of
Alciopus' daughter. She was one of
Heracles's numerous lovers.[5]
