Meliboea

In Greek mythology, Meliboea referred to two different people.

  1. One was the only Niobid spared when Artemis and Apollo killed them. She was so upset that she changed her name to Chloris ("the pale one").
  2. The other was a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys and mother of Lycaon with Pelasgus.

137 Meliboea is an asteroid.
