In Roman mythology, Canens was the personification of song.
A nymph from Latium, she was the daughter of Janus and Venilia.
[1] Because Canens' husband Picus scorned the love of the witch Circe, she turned him into a woodpecker.
Canens searched for her husband for six days and then threw herself into the Tiber river.
