Kallirrhoë (Tire)

Kallirrhoë ( Greek Καλλιρρόη , the beautiful flowing ) is a Tyrian spring nymph ( naiad ) in Greek mythology .

According to Nonnos , she became one of the three tribal mothers of the Tyrians, together with her mother Abarbaree and the naiad Drosera , after they were admired by Dionysus and struck by Eros' arrows. According to Wolf Wilhelm von Baudissin , Kallirrhoë and Drosera were inventions of the Nonnos.
