Galaxy/The codex of Pemphredo (Graeae)

One of the fair-cheeked Graeae whom Hesiod names beside saffron-robed Enyo as grey-haired daughters of Phorcys and Ceto, sisters of the Gorgons.1

Hesiod sets Pemphredo among the children of the sea: 'Ceto bore to Phorcys the fair-cheeked Graiae, sisters grey from their birth — and the Gorgons,' naming Pemphredo well-clad and Enyo saffron-robed. Apollodorus later spells the name Pephredo when he gives the Perseus episode with the shared eye and tooth. The collective node `graeae` holds the two-name and three-name dispute; this node is the individual in Hesiod's roll.2
