Labda

Labda

In Greek mythology, Labda (Greek: polytonic|Λάβδα) was a daughter of the Bacchiad Amphion, and mother of Cypselus, by Eetion. [Aelius Herodianus, v. 92. (cited in Smith)] Her name was derived from the fact of her feet being turned outward, and thus re­sembling the letter lambda (polytonic|Λ) [Etymologicum Magnum p. 199. Compare Cypselus. (cited in Smith)] , which, by the accounts of the most ancient Greek grammarians, was originally pronounced "labda," (IPA IPA| [laːbdaː] ).
