Rhodope (mythology)


In Greek mythology, Rhodope was a queen of Thrace and the wife of Haemus. Haemus was vain and haughty and compared himself and Rhodope to Zeus and Hera, who were offended and changed the couple into mountains.
This Rhodope may be one who was called the daughter of Strymon who consorted with Poseidon and became the mother of Athos.
