Tanagra (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Tanagra (/ˈtanəgrə/; Ancient Greek: Τανάγρα or Τάναγραν) was the daughter of Aeolus or the river-god Asopus[1] and Metope, daughter of Ladon.

In the latter case, she was considered a naiad-nymph and sister to Corcyra, Salamis, Aigina, Peirene, Kleonai, Thebe, Thespeia, Asopis, Sinope, Ornia, Chalcis, Pelasgus, and Ismenus.

[4] In some accounts, Hermes fought Ares in a boxing match for the sake of Tanagra.

[5] Hermes won and carried her off to Tanagra which later bore her name.
