In Greek mythology, Callirrhoe (often written Callirrhoë) was a naiad. She was the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys[1][2]. She had three husbands, Chrysaor, Neilus and Poseidon. She was one of the three ancestors of the Tyrians, along with Abarbarea and Drosera[3]. Jupiter's moon Callirrhoe is named after her.
