Tanagra (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Tanagra (Ancient Greek: Τανάγρα or Τάναγραν) was the daughter of Aeolus or the river-god Asopus and Metope, daughter of Ladon. In the latter case, she was considered a naiad-nymph and sister to Corcyra, Salamis, Aigina, Peirene, Kleonai, Thebe, Thespeia, Asopis, Sinope, Ornia, Chalcis, Pelasgus, and Ismenus.

Mythology
Tanagra married Poemander, founder of the town of Tanagra in Boeotia which he named after his wife. The couple had two sons: Leucippus and Ephippus. In some accounts, Hermes fought Ares in a boxing match for the sake of Tanagra. Hermes won and carried her off to Tanagra which later bore her name.
