According to Herodotus, Labda (Greek: Λάβδα) was a daughter of the Bacchiad Amphion, and mother of Cypselus, by Eetion.[1] Her name was derived from the fact of her feet being turned outward, and thus resembling the letter lambda (Λ),[2] which, by the accounts of the most ancient Greek grammarians, was originally pronounced labda [labda].
