Английская Википедия:Galene (mythology)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Greek myth (aquatic nymphs) Galene (Ancient Greek: Γαλήνη Galênê means 'calm weather'[1] or 'calm, tranquility'[2]) in ancient Greek religion was a minor goddess personifying calm seas.[2] Hesiod enumerates her as one of the 50 Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris,[3] perhaps identical with her sister Galatea.
Meanwhile, Euripides mentions "Galaneia" (Galênaiê) as a daughter of Pontus[4] and Callimachus refers to her as "Galenaia".[5] A statue of Galene, next to that of Thalassa, was mentioned by Pausanias as an offering at the temple of Poseidon in Corinth.[6]
The alternative name Galatea, which gained currency in the 18th century refers to same goddess.[7]
Another character, Galene was named as a maenad in a vase painting.[8]
