Tritogeneia (mythology)

Summary

In Greek mythology, Tritogeneia (Ancient Greek: Τριτυγένεια means "having three fathers") may refer to the following:

  • Tritogeneia, or Trigoneia (Τριγόνεια), daughter of Aeolus, and wife of Minyas, or according to others, mother of Minyas by Poseidon.[1] Others considered Callirhoe,[2] Euryanassa,[3] Hermippe[4] or lastly, Chrysogone[5] as the consort of the sea-god instead.
  • Tritogeneia, an epithet of Athena,[6] which is explained in different ways. Some derive it from lake Tritonis in Libya, near which she is said to have been born;[7] others from the stream Triton near Alalcomenae in Boeotia, where she was worshipped, and where according to some statements she was also born;[8] the grammarians, lastly, derive the name from τριτώ which, in the dialect of the Athamanians, is said to signify " head," so that it would be the goddess born out of the head of her father.[9] Other forms of the epithets of Athena were Trito (Τριτώ), Tritogenês (Τριτογενής), Trito'nis (Τριτωνις) and Tritonia.[10]
  • Tritogeneia, another name of Orion.[11]
