In Greek mythology, Parthenope (Ancient Greek: Παρθενόπη means "maiden-voiced") may refer to the following personages:

Parthenope, mother of Europa and Thraike by Oceanus, Titan of the great world-encircling river.[1] These daughters are sometimes counted among the Oceanids, thus their mother could be Tethys, the Titaness sister-consort of Oceanus.
Parthenope, one of the Sirens.[2]
Parthenope, an Arcadian princess as daughter of King Stymphalus. She consorted with Heracles and had by him a son Everes.[3]

Parthenope, a Lelegian daughter of King Ancaeus of Samos and Samia, daughter of Meander, one of the Potamoi. She consorted with Apollo and had a son Lycomedes by the god.[4]
