Atlanteia

In Greek mythology, Atlanteia or Atlantia (Greek Ἀτλαντείης) was a Hamadryad nymph who consorted with Danaus and possibly begot some of these Danaids: Hippodamia, Rhodia, Cleopatra, Asteria, Hippodamia, Glauce, Hippomedusa, Gorge, Iphimedusa and Rhode. Apollodorus only identified these daughters of Danaus by Atlantia and Phoebe (another hamadryad), not specifying who was the daughter of the other. These ten women joined the sons of Aegyptus who were begotten on an Arabian woman.
