Cyrene and Cattle by Edward Calvert, 1830s or 1840s
In Greek mythology, Cyrene (/saɪˈriːni/, sy-REE-nee; Ancient Greek: Κυρήνη, lit. 'sovereign queen' or 'wall'), also spelled Kyrene, was the etymon of the Greek colony of Cyrene, Libya. She was said to have been a Thessalian princess and huntress who became the queen regnant of Cyrene, founded and named in her honor by the god Apollo. The story is entirely apocryphal, the city having been founded by settlers from Thera.
