Leipephilene
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template:Short description In Greek mythology, Leipephilene (Ancient Greek: Λειπεφιλήνη) was the daughter of Iolaus and Megara. She was renowned for her beauty which was compared to that of an Olympian goddess. Leipephilene married Phylas and bore two children to him, Hippotes and Thero.[1]
The name form "Leipephilene" is a corruption, and has been variously emended by some editors as "Leipephile" (Script error: No such module "Lang".), "Hippophile" (Script error: No such module "Lang".) or "Deiphile" (Script error: No such module "Lang".). The precise original form remains unknown.[2]
