Alcinoë (daughter of Polybus)

In Greek mythology, Alcinoë (/ælˈsɪnoʊ.iː/; Ancient Greek: Ἀλκινόη, romanized: Alkinóē, lit. 'mighty-minded') is a young princess of Corinth, daughter of King Polybus of Corinth, and sister to Oedipus. Greek grammarian Parthenius of Nicaea preserves her story in his Erotica Pathemata ("sorrows about love"), which he attributes to Hellenistic poet Moero.
