Cleocharia

In Greek mythology, Cleocharia (/ˌkliːoʊˈkɛəriə/;[1] Ancient Greek: Κλεοχαρείας Kleokhareia) was a naiad of Laconia who later on became the queen-consort of King Lelex of Lelegia.

She was the ancestress of the Spartan royal family and gave birth to Eurotas (presumably named after his grandfather).

Eurotas had a daughter named Sparta, who married Lacedaemon.

However, the city's name would also be his own, as it was called either Lacedaemon or Sparta interchangeably.

In some accounts, Lelex's two children were Myles and Polycaon possibly by Cleocharia.
