Syme (mythology)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In Greek mythology, Syme (Σύμη) was the eponym of the island Syme.[1]
According to Athenaeus, Syme was the daughter of Ialysos and Dotis. She was carried off by the sea god Glaucus on his way back from Asia. Glaucus named a deserted island he landed on after Syme.[2]
Diodorus Siculus, however, writes of Syme as the mother of Chthonius with Poseidon, and mentions that it was Chthonius who named the island after Syme.[3]
