Eupompe (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Eupompe (Ancient Greek: Εὐπόμπη Eupompê means 'she of good escort'[1]) was the "rosy-armed" Nereid of good festive or processional voyage.[2] She was one of the 50 sea-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.[3] She may be the same with Eumolpe.[4]
