Lamia (daughter of Poseidon)

In Greek mythology, Lamia (; Ancient Greek: Λάμια) was a daughter of Poseidon, and mother, by Zeus, of the Libyan Sibyl.Pausanias, 10.12.1; Plutarch, De Pyth. orac. 9 p. 398c; Dio Chrysostom, 37.13; Smith, "Lamia 1."; Grimal, "Lamia 1." p. 248. It was perhaps this Lamia who, according to Stesichorus, was the mother of Scylla.Stesichorus, F220 PMG; Fowler, p. 32, Gantz, p. 731.
