A Nereid daughter of Nereus and Doris, named in Hesiod's catalogue and in Homer's Iliad among the sea-sisters who surround Thetis in grief — a list-node with no further attested myth.1
I
Hesiod numbers Dynamene among the fifty daughters of blameless Nereus — set beside Doto, Proto, Pherusa, Nisaea and Actaea in the Theogony's passing-lovely roll of sea-goddesses.2
II
Homer gathers the Nereids when Thetis mourns: Doto and Proto and Pherousa and Dynamene appear together in the bright cave, beating their breasts at the silver-footed goddess' lead. No marriage, child or landscape tale follows her name in our sources.3
