Aethusa

In Greek mythology, Aethusa (Ancient Greek: ;;;;;;;) was a daughter of Poseidon and the Pleiad Alcyone, daughter of Atlas.[1][2][3] She was loved by Apollo and bore to him Eleuther[4] and Linus.[5] Through either of the latter two, Aethusa became the grandmother of Pierus, father of Oeagrus, father of the musician Orpheus. Because of this genealogical fact, she was usually identified as a Thracian.[6]

The word aethusa was used as an epithet for a portico that was open to the sun, that is, Apollo.[7]

According to Pliny's Naturalis Historia, Aethusa is also the eponym of the Italian island which is now called Linosa. - from an encyclopedia.

Aethusa

My life is full of wonders,
I live by the sea
And I am happy with theway it goes.
For years in a row
Apollo visits me
And my smile
And my heartbeat
Are devoted to him.
The sunlight is endless,
I float on its waves,
He cast a spell on me
So I can never see the
Haze.
