PARTHENOPE

Parthenope: translation

Parthenopef
Name borne in classical mythology by one of the Sirens, who drowned herself in frustration when Odysseus managed to avoid her lures by having himself tied to the mast and ordering his companions to block their ears with wax. Her name seems to be a derivative ofGreekparthenosmaiden (an epithet of Athena) +ōpsface, form. This name was borne by a sister of Florence Nightingale who was born at Naples, where the body of the Siren is said to have been washed ashore.
