Melinoë (/mɪˈlɪnoʊiː/; Ancient Greek: Μηλινόη, romanized: Mēlinóē pronounced [mɛːlinóɛː]) is a chthonic 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.[1] In the hymn, Melinoë has characteristics that seem similar to Hecate and the Erinyes,[2] and Melinoë's name is sometimes thought to be an epithet of Hecate.[3]
