Thelxinoë

In Greek mythology, Thelxinoë /θɛlkˈsɪnoʊ.iː/^[1] (Greek: Θελξινόη, translit. Thelxinóē; English translation: "mind charming") was a name attributed to four individuals.

• Thelxinoë, one of the sirens. Also known as Thelxiope or Thelxiepia.^[2]
• Thelxinoë, one of the four later recognized muses in Greek tradition. She and her sisters Aoede, Arche and Melete^[3] were regarded as daughters of Zeus by Plusia.^[4] She was linked with the charming of the mind as a Muse. The moon of Jupiter Thelxinoe is named after her.
• Thelxinoë, one of Semele's attendants.^[5]
• Thelxinoëa, also Thelxionoea or Thelxineia, one of the so-called Praxidicae (the other two were Alacomenia and Aulis), daughters of King Ogyges of Boeotia.^[6]
