Cleopatra (Danaid) in the context of "Atlanteia"

In Greek mythology, Phoebe (/ˈfiːbi/ FEE-bee; Ancient Greek: Φοίβη, romanized: Phoíbē, lit. 'bright, shining') is the name or epithet of the following characters:

• Phoebe, one of the twelve Titans, sister-wife of Coeus and mother of Leto and Asteria.
• Phoebe, daughter of Leucippus.
• Phoebe, a hamadryad who became one of King Danaus's many wives or concubines and possible mother of some of these Danaïdes: Hippodamia, Rhodia, Cleopatra, Asteria, Glauce, Hippomedusa, Gorge, Iphimedusa and Rhode. Apollodorus only identified these daughters of Danaus by Phoebe and Atlantia (another hamadryad), not specifying who was the daughter of the other. These ten women joined the sons of Aegyptus who were begotten by Eurryroe, traditionally seen as an Arabian woman, a naiad, daughter of Nilus (the Nile) and a sister of Europa. Later on, these princesses slew their cousin-husbands during their wedding night. According to Hippostratus, Danaus had all of his progeny by a single woman, Europe, daughter of the river-god Nilus. In some accounts, he married his cousin Melia, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre. Other classic poets give a number of mothers to the sons of Aegyptus and the daughters of Danaus. Argyphia, Tyria, the naiad Caliadne, Gorgo and Hephaestine are also given as mothers of the sons of Aegyptos. According to Apollodorus twelve of whom were born to the naiad Polyxo; six to Pieria; two to Elephantis; four to Queen Europa; ten to the hamadryad nymphs Atlanteia and Phoebe; seven to an Aethiopian woman; three to Memphis; two to Herse and lastly four to Crino.
• Phoebe, one of the Heliades.
• Phoebe, a Spartan princess who was the daughter of King Tyndareus and Leda, daughter of King Thestius of Pleuron. She was the (half-)sister of Castor and Pollux, Helen, Clytemnestra, Timandra and Philonoe.
• Phoebe, one of the Amazons who fought against Heracles.
• Phoebe, an epithet of Artemis, also shared by Selene.

Also, Phoebe (crater) on Saturn's small moon Janus is named after Phoebe of Messenia.

In Greek mythology, Gorge (Ancient Greek: Γόργη, comes from the adjective gorgos, "terrible" or "horrible") may refer to:

• Gorge, a Libyan princess as one of the Danaïdes, daughters of King Danaus. Her mother was either the hamadryads Atlanteia or Phoebe and thus, probably the full sister of Hippodamia, Rhodia, Cleopatra, Asteria, Hippodamia, Glauce, Hippomedusa, Iphimedusa and Rhode. She married and murdered Hippothous, son of Aegyptus.
• Gorge, a Calydonian princess as the daughter of King Oeneus and Althaea, daughter of King Thestius of Pleuron. She was the sister of Deianeira, Meleager, Toxeus, Clymenus, Periphas, Agelaus (or Ageleus), Thyreus (or Phereus or Pheres), Eurymede and Melanippe. Gorge married Andraemon and became the mother of a son Thoas who led the Aetolian contingent for the Greeks in the Trojan War. Artemis changed her sisters into birds because of their constant mourning over the death of their brother Meleager, but spared Gorge and Deianeira. Apollodorus says that according to Pisander, she was the mother of Tydeus by her own father Oeneus, because "Zeus willed it that Oeneus should fall in love with his own daughter".
• Gorge, a woman of Lemnos who slew Elymus the night Lemnian women killed their men.
• Gorge, a Maenad in the retinue of Dionysus during his Indian campaign.

In Greek mythology, Cleopatra (Ancient Greek: Κλεοπάτρα, romanized: Kleopátra means "glory of the father") was the name of the following women:

• Cleopatra (Danaid), daughter of Danaus.
• Cleopatra, daughter of King Tros of Troy and Callirhoe, daughter of the river-god Scamander. She was the sister of Ilus, Assaracus, Ganymede and possibly, Cleomestra. Cleopatra and Cleomestra probably refer to the same individual.
• Cleopatra, daughter of Boreas (the North wind) and the Athenian princess Orithyia, sister to the Boreads and Chione. She was the first wife of Phineus by whom he had a pair of sons, named either Plexippus and Pandion, or Gerymbas and Aspondus, or Polydector (Polydectus) and Polydorus, or Parthenius and Crambis.
• Cleopatra Alcyone, wife of Meleager.
• Cleopatra, wife of King Deucalion of Crete and mother of Idomeneus.
• Cleopatra and Periboea of Locris, two maidens sent to the Trojan temple of Athena in retribution for Ajax the Lesser's sacrilege. This was done because three years after the Locrians had regained their country, they suffered a plague. Then an oracle bade them to propitiate Athena at Troy, sending two maidens as suppliants for a thousand years. The first lot fell on Periboea and Cleopatra, and after their deaths others were sent.
