From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ligea in mythologia Graeca fuit Nereis, filia Nerei dei marini, e Doride genita, secundum Hyginum in libro "Fabulae" inscripto,[1] qui hoc nomen e textu Georgicon Vergilii sine dubio dempsit; Vergilius enim eam inter sectatrices Cyrenes enumeraverat, scilicet Drymo, Xantho, Ligea, Phyllodoce, Cydippe, Lycorias, Clio, Beroe, Ephyre, Opis, Asia, Deiopea, Clymene, Arethusa. Ligea (cum tribus sororibus) a poëta "caesariem effusa nitidam per candida colla" depingitur.[2]
