Strophia (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Strophia (Ancient Greek: Στροφίη) was a naiad nymph of a spring on Thebes and daughter of the river-god Ismenus.^[1] Her sister was Dirce^[2] and possibly Crocale as well.^[3]

Mythology

Strophia was only mentioned in the account of Callimachus as one of the rivers and springs that fled from the pregnant goddess Leto in fear of Hera’s wrath if they provide refuge for her.

"Fled, too, Aonia (Boeotia) on the same course, and Dirke and Strophia, holding the hands of their sire, dark-pebbled Ismenos.”^[4]
