Pheme

She was a daughter either of Gaia or of Elpis (Hope), was described as "she who initiates and furthers communication" and had an altar at Athens.

[2] In Roman mythology, Fama ("rumour") was described as having multiple tongues, eyes, ears, and feathers by Virgil (in Aeneid IV line 180 and following) and other authors.

In Book One of the Odyssey, the purpose of Telemachus' journey to Pylos is so that he might gain "pheme" among the world.

James C. Bulman's Arden Shakespeare edition notes numerous lesser known theatrical examples.

[4] The Greek word pheme is related to Φάναι "to speak" and can mean "fame", "report", or "rumor".
