Coba ceritain soal Merops (mitologi)

Nama Merops (Yunani Kuno: Μέροψ berarti "manusia, ummat" atau "membagi suara") mengacu pada beberapa tokoh dari mitologi Yunani:

Merops, raja Etiopia, suami Klymene dan ayah angkat Phaethon, putra istrinya dari Helios.

Merops, penduduk Miletus, suami Klymene (berbeda) dan ayah Pandareus.

Merops, raja Percote, ayah dari dua putra (Amphius dan Adrastus) yang dibunuh oleh Diomedes dalam Perang Troya, dan dari dua putri, Cleite (istri Cyzicus) dan Arisbe (istri pertama Priam). Dia memiliki kemampuan meramal dan telah meramalkan kematian putra-putranya, tetapi mereka mengabaikan peringatannya. Merops juga mengajari Aesacus untuk menafsirkan mimpi.

Merops, putra Triopas, atau autochthon dan raja Cos (pulau itu diperkirakan dinamai menurut nama putrinya). Dia menikah dengan nimfa Ethemea (atau, lebih tepatnya, Echemeia), yang ditembak oleh Artemis karena berhenti menyembah dewi. Saat Merops akan bunuh diri atas kematian istrinya, Hera mengasihaninya yang berduka dan menempatkannya di antara bintang-bintang dalam bentuk elang (rasi bintang Aquila). Merops adalah ayah dari Eumelus dan kakek dari Agron, Byssa dan Meropis, semua cucunya terkenal karena ketidaksalehan mereka. Klytie, istri Eurypylus dari Cos, dan Titanis, yang diubah oleh Artemis menjadi rusa karena kecantikannya, dianggap sebagai putri Merops.

Merops, raja Anthemousia, yang berperang melawan Sithon dari Thrace untuk menyelamatkan putri terakhirnya Pallene, namun terbunuh.

Merops, yang putrinya Epione adalah istri Asclepius.

Merops, putra Hyas, yang pertama membuat orang berkumpul kembali di pemukiman setelah banjir besar Yunani kuno.
