Hagno (mythology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Hagno (Ancient Greek: Ἁγνὼ means 'pure, chaste, holy') was the Arcadian nymph who together with other nymphs, Neda, Anthracia, Anchirhoe and Myrtoessa, were nurses of the god Zeus. She was depicted to have a water-pot in one hand and a bowl in the other.[1]
