Galaxy/The codex of Panopea

A Nereid daughter of Nereus and Doris named in Hesiod's catalogue among the fifty sea-sisters — a list-node with no independent episode in our sources.1

I

Hesiod sets Panopea in the Theogony roll beside Protomedea, Doris and comely Galatea — one of the passing lovely daughters born to blameless Nereus and rich-haired Doris, Ocean's daughter.2

II

Her name suggests all-seeing breadth, yet Hesiod assigns no tale beyond the catalogue position. The atlas keeps her as a genealogical node honestly marked: attested fact without invented myth.3
