Cassiphone

Κασσιφόνη

(Κασσιφόνη), a daughter of Odysseus by Circe, and sister of Telegonus. After Odysseus had been restored to life by Circe, when he had been killed by Telegonus, he gave Cassiphone in marriage to Telemachus, whom, however, she killed, because he had put to death her mother Circe. (Schol. ad Lycoph. 795, &c.)
