Hesperis (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Hesperis (Ancient Greek: Ἑσπερίς, romanizedHesperís, lit.'evening'[1]) may refer to two separate characters:

  • Hesperis, daughter of Hesperus, the brother of Atlas in a rare account. She was given in marriage by her father to her uncle whom she bore seven beautiful daughters called Hesperides after her and Atlantides after their father. Their land, Hesperitis, was named after Hesperis by her husband Atlas.[2][3]
