Parthenope ({{lang-grc-gre|Παρθενόπη}}) was one of the Sirens in Greek mythology. Her name means "Maiden-voiced".[1]{{rp|20}}

Myth

According to Greek legend, Parthenope was the daughter of the god Achelous and the Muse Terpsichore.[1]{{rp|35}}[2] She cast herself into the sea and drowned when her songs failed to entice Odysseus.[3][4]{{rp|293}} Her body washed ashore at Naples, on the island of Megaride, where the Castel dell'Ovo is now located.[5] When people from the city of Cumae settled there, they named their city Parthenope in her honour.[6]

A Roman myth tells a different version of the tale, in which a centaur named Vesuvius was enamored with Parthenope. Angered, Jupiter turned the centaur into a stratovolcano and Parthenope into the city of Naples. Thwarted in his desire, Vesuvius' rage is manifested in the volcano's frequent violent eruptions.[7]

In literature and art

Parthenope has been depicted in various forms of literature and art, from ancient coins that bore her semblance[2] to the Fountain of the Spinacorona, where she is depicted quenching the fires of Vesuvius with water from her breasts.[8] In his Georgics, Virgil stated that he had been nurtured by Parthenope, writing:

{{quote|text=At that time sweet Parthenope was nurturing me, Virgil, as I flourished in the pursuits of my inglorious leisure...|sign=Virgil|source=Georgics[4]{{rp|289}}}}

In addition, Parthenope has served as the inspiration for a number of other works, such as Manuel de Zumaya's Partenope and the ancient Greek novel Mētiokhos kai Parthenopē.[9] Also, several operas based on the myth of Parthenope were composed on the 18th century by Sarro (1722), Vinci (1725), Handel (1730), Vivaldi (1738) and Hasse (1767).
