Melinoë

Melinoë (/mɪˈlɪnoʊiː/; Ancient Greek: Μηλινόη pronounced [mɛːlinóɛː]) is a chthonic nymph or goddess invoked in one of the Orphic Hymns (2nd or 3rd centuries AD?) and represented as a bringer of nightmares and madness. The name "Melinoë" also appears on a metal tablet in association with Persephone. In the hymn, Melinoë has characteristics that seem similar to Hecate and the Erinyes, and Melinoë's name is sometimes thought to be an epithet of Hecate. The terms in which Melinoë is described are typical of moon goddesses in Greek poetry.
