Family at a glance

Thelxinoe appears in the same list in Cicero as Arche, Aoede and Melete. Her name means she who charms the mind, from the verb thelgein.

The name is also borne, in a different source, by one of the Sirens. Nothing else is told of her as a Muse.

The ancient evidence for Thelxinoe is limited, so this page is short on purpose.
