InGreek mythology,Diopatra (Ancient Greek: ΔιοπατρηDiopatrê) was anaiad of MountOthrys and one of theSpercheides. She was the daughter of theriver-godSpercheus and the naiadDeino. As recounted byCerambus, when the godPoseidon fell in love with Diopatre, the god transformed her sisters into poplars in order to ravish the girl; some nymphs, outraged by the tale and other rumours he spread about themselves, turned Cerambus into a beetle.[1] Diopatra's name means "divine family" which came fromdion andpatra.
