Loxo (nymph)
The Nymphai Hyperboreioi ( grc, Νύμφαι Υπερβόρειοι, Nymphai Hyperboreioi, Nymphs of Hyperborea; la, Nymphae Hyperboreii) were nymphs in Greek mythology who presided over aspects of archery. Hekaerge ( grc, Ἑκαέργη, Hekaergê, Hekaergos, Hecaerge) represented distancing. A daughter of Boreas, and one of the Hyperborean maidens, who were believed to have introduced the worship of Artemis in Delos. (Callim. Hymn. in Del. 292; Paus. i. 43. § 4, v. 7. § 4; Herod. iv. 35.) The name Hecaerge signifies hitting at a distance; and it is not improbable that the story of the Hyperborean maiden may have arisen out of an attribute of Artemis, who bore the surname of Hecaerge. (Anton. Lib. 13.) Aphrodite had the same surname at Iulis in Cos. (Anton. Lib. 1.)

The king is not very good at steering the flying island; he bumps it into a giant's head. For compensation, Loxo, the great brute, demands the King's daughter Gureeda, whom he mistakes for a boy, as a servant to lace his huge boots. However, he grants the Umbrella Islanders three months to train the child to be a bootlacer. Meanwhile, the boy Speedy (from ''The Yellow Knight of Oz'') returns for another adventure.
