Female lovers of Apollo

In Greek mythology, Cassandra (Greek Κασσάνδρα, also Κασάνδρα; ), also known as Alexandra or Kassandra, was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. She had the power of prophecy and the curse of never being believed. A common version of her story is that Apollo gave her the power of prophecy in order to seduce her, but when she refused him, he gave her the curse of never being believed. In an alternate version, she fell asleep in a temple, and snakes licked (or whispered in) her ears so that she was able to hear the future. The connection between snakes and knowledge is a recurring theme in Greek mythology, though sometimes it brings an ability to understand the language of animals rather than an ability to know the future. She is a figure of both epic tradition and of tragedy.

Hecuba (ˈhɛkjʊbə; also Hecabe, Hécube; Ancient Greek: Ἑκάβη Hekábē, ) was a queen in Greek mythology, the wife of King Priam of Troy during the Trojan War, with whom she had 19 children. These children included several major characters of Homer's Iliad such as the warriors Hector and Paris and the prophetess Cassandra.

Acacallis (Ancient Greek: Ἀκακαλλίς) in Greek mythology, was princess of Crete. The Bibliotheca calls her Acalle (Ἀκάλλη).

In Greek mythology, Coronis (Ancient Greek: Κορωνίς, Korōnís) is a Thessalian princess and a lover of the god Apollo. She was the daughter of Cleophema and Phlegyas, king of the Lapiths. By Apollo she became the mother of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. While she was still pregnant, she slept with a mortal man named Ischys and was subsequently killed by either the god or his sister Artemis for her betrayal. After failing to heal her, Apollo rescued their unborn child by performing a caesarean section. She was turned into a constellation after her death.

In Greek mythology, Calliope (kə-LY-ə-pee; Ancient Greek: Καλλιόπη, Kalliópē, 'beautiful-voiced') is the Muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry; so called from the ecstatic harmony of her voice. Hesiod and Ovid called her the "Chief of all Muses".

Urania (yoor-AY-nee-ə; Ancient Greek: Οὐρανία, Ouranía; modern Greek shortened name Ράνια Ránia; meaning "heavenly" or "of heaven") was, in Greek mythology, the muse of astronomy and astrology. Urania is the goddess of astronomy and stars, her attributes being the globe and compass.

Cyrene (sy-REE-nee), also spelled Kyrene (ky-REE-nee; Ancient Greek: Κυρήνη, Kurḗnē) is a figure in Greek mythology considered the etymon of the Greek colony of Cyrene in eastern Libya in North Africa. She was said to have been a Thessalian princess who became the queen 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.
