Melano'pus
(
*Mela/nwpos), of Cyme, a poet of the mythical period, whom Pausanias places between Olen and Aristaeus, is said by that author to have composed a hymn to Opis and Hecaerge, in which he stated that those goddesses came from the Hyperboreans to Delos before Achaeia. (
Paus. 5.7. §. 4. s. 8.)
In some of the old genealogies Melanopus was made the grandfather of Homer (Procl. and Pseudo-Herod.
Vit. Hom.)
