Aegina (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Aegina was the nymph of the island that bears her name, lying in the Saronic Gulf between Attica and the Peloponnesos. Though her name betokens a goat-nymph such as was Cretan Amalthea, she was the daughter of the river-god Asopus and the nymph Metope; of their twelve or twenty daughters, many were ravished by Apollo or Zeus.
