Euippe
means 'good mare', referring not so much to the
person so named (as a sort of'fine filly') but as a propitious name for one who could possess several horses. One
woman so called was the wife of
king Pierus, who bore him
nine daughters, the Piérides.
Another was the daughter of Leucon who married Andreus, son of the
river god
Peneius.
