In Greek mythology, Prosymna (Ancient Greek: Πρόσυμνα or Πρόσυμναν from prosymneô meaning 'celebrate in song') was one of the Argive naiad daughters of the river-god Asterion. She and her sisters, Acraea and Euboea, were the nurses of Hera.[1] The town of Prosymna which is beneath Heraion was named after the nymph.[2]
