In Greek mythology, there were two people named
Psamathe.
- Psamathe was a Nereid, the lover of Aeacus and mother of Phocus. Ovid
XI, 398
- Daughter of Crotopus, the King of Argos
and mother of Linus by Apollo.
She feared her father and gave the infant Linus to shepherds to raise. He was torn apart by dogs after reaching adulthood and
Psamathe was killed by her father, for which Apollo sent a child-killing plague to Argos.
