InGreek mythology,Rhapso[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek:Ῥαψώ) was anymph or a minorgoddess worshipped atAthens. She is known solely from an inscription of the 4th century BCE, found atPhalerum.[1] Her name apparently derives from the Greek verbῥάπτω meaning "to sew" or "to stitch".[2]
According to some, she is associated with theMoirai (as a fate goddess) andEileithyia (as a birth goddess); she somehow organized a man's thread of life, at birth, by some sort of stitching work (similar toClotho of the Moirai). And according to others, she was possibly a patroness ofseamstresses.[3]
