Coryphe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Coryphe (Ancient Greek: Κορυφή) was one of the 3,000 Oceanids, water-nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and his sister-wife Tethys.[1] In some versions of the myth, she was the mother by Zeus of the fourth Athena who was called Coria by the Arcadians and worshipped as the inventress of chariots.[2]
