Argiope, meaning "silver-faced," is a figure in Greek mythology associated with different stories and regions.

Here are the notable figures named Argiope:

Argiope is sometimes called a naiad or water nymph and is associated with springs or fountains.

In some versions of her myth, Argiope was the mother of Thamyris, a talented Thracian musician and singer who dared to challenge the Muses to a contest.

Argiope was also the name of a queen of Boeotia.

The name Argiope (Ἀργιόπη) means "silver-faced" or "bright-faced.

In Greek mythology, naiads like Argiope were often linked with rivers, springs, and other bodies of freshwater.

An alternate mother-name, Argiope (“silver-faced” or white-faced), appears in other traditions.

Argiope appears elsewhere as a mother-name with a similar “bright / silver face” feel.

Some traditions also use related bright-face mother-names such as Argiope, or the alias Telephe.

The poet Moschus mentions her mother as Queen Telephassa ("far-shining"), while other versions cite Argiope ("silver-faced") as her mother.
