Leuconoe

In Greek mythology, the name Leuconoe (/ljuːˈkɒnoʊi/; Ancient Greek: Λευκονόη, /leu̯konóɛː/) may refer to:

Leuconoe, one of the Minyads,[1] more commonly known as Leucippe.
Leuconoe, daughter of Lucifer (Eosphorus) and mother of Philammon by Apollo.[2] In some accounts, the mother of Philammon was called Chione[3] or Philonis.[4]
In some editions of Hyginus' Fabulae, Leuconoe was the suggested reading for the name of the child of Poseidon and Themisto.[5] The reading Leucon has been accepted as more appropriate.[6]

In Roman literature, Leuconoe is a figure to whom Horace's Ode 11 of Book 1 of Odes is addressed.
