In Greek Mythology, Sinope (Ancient Greek: Σινώπη[1]) was one of the daughters of Asopus and thought to be an eponym of the city Sinope on the Black Sea. MythologyAccording to Corinna[2] and Diodorus Siculus,[3] Sinope was carried away by the god Apollo to the place where later stood the city honouring her name. Diodorus adds that she bore to Apollo a son named Syrus, supposedly afterwards king of the Syrians, who were named after him. However, the Argonautica[4] and Valerius Flaccus[5] relate that Sinope was abducted to the site by Zeus, who, in his passion, swore to fulfil her dearest wish.[6] Sinope declared she wished to remain a virgin. Sinope later tricked Apollo and the river Halys in the same fashion and remained a virgin all her life.
