Notes

  1. One of the Graces (Charites), according to Pausanias 9.35.4 -- though not in the purported canonical trio named under chi 123. (See generally OCD(4) s.v. Charites.)
    For *Pasiqe/h -- normally in this Ionic form, as here -- see e.g. Homer, Iliad 14.275-6; Hesiod, Theogony 246 (but apparently a sea-nymph there).
