Leucosia (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Leucosia (Ancient Greek: Λευκωσία, romanizedLeukōsía, lit.'white-stuff', from λευκή leukḗ, "white") was one of the Sirens. She was the daughter of the river-god Achelous and the Muse Melpomene[1] or her sister Terpsichore.[2] Leucosia's sisters were Parthenope and Ligeia.[3][4][5][6] Leucosia's name was given to the island opposite to the Sirens' cape.[7] Her body was found on the shore of Poseidonia.[8]
