Salamis (/ˈsæləmɪs/ SAL-ə-miss; Ancient Greek: Σαλαμίς) was a nymph in Greek mythology, the daughter of the river-god Asopus^[1] and Metope, daughter of Ladon, another river god.^[2] She was sister to Corcyra, Sinope, Aegina, Peirene, Cleone, Thebe, Tanagra, Thespia, Asopis, Ornea, Chalcis (Euboea), Harpina, Antiope, Nemea, Plataea (Oeroe), Pelagon (Pelasgus) and Ismenus.^[3]

Mythology

Along with her sisters Corcyra and Euboea, Salamis also shared their fate after they were all carried away by Poseidon from their father.^[4] The god took her to the island which was named after her by Cychreus, their son who became the first king of the island.^[5]

In some accounts, she became the mother of Saracon by Zeus.^[6]
