Ancaeus (son Of Poseidon)
In Greek mythology, Ancaeus (; Ancient Greek: Ἀγκαῖος ''Ankaîos'') was king of the island of Samos, and an Argonaut: helmsmanship was his special skill. Family Ancaeus was a son of Poseidon and Astypalaea, and brother of Eurypylus. In some sources, his mother was Althaea, daughter of Thestius. By other accounts his father was the Lelegian king Altes, which accords well with Ancaeus's rule over the Leleges of Samos. According to a lost epic of his house, sung by the Samian poet Asios, he married Samia, daughter of the river god Maeander, who bore him Perilaus, Enudus, Samus, Alitherses, and Parthenope, the mother of Lycomedes. Mythology The most famous story surrounding this Ancaeus is the following: when planting a vineyard, for Samos was famed for its wine, he was told by a seer that he would never taste its wine.

Parthenope (Naples)
The history of Naples is long and varied, dating to Greek settlements established in the Naples area in the 2nd millennium BC. During the end of the Greek Dark Ages a larger mainland colony – initially known as Parthenope – developed on the Pizzofalcone hill in the 8th century BC, and was refounded as Neapolis in the 6th century BC: it held an important role in Magna Graecia. The Greek culture of Naples was important to later Roman society. When the city became part of the Roman Republic in the central province of the Empire, it was a major cultural centre. It served as the capital of the Duchy of Naples (661–1139), of the Kingdom of Sicily, of the Kingdom of Naples (1282–1816) and finally of the Two Sicilies until the unification of Italy in 1861. The city has seen the rise and fall of several civilisations and cultures, each of which has left traces in its art and architecture, and during the Renaissance and the Enlightenment was a major centre of culture.

11 Parthenope
Parthenope (minor planet designation: 11 Parthenope) is a large, bright main-belt asteroid. Parthenope was discovered by Annibale de Gasparis on 11 May 1850, the second of his nine asteroid discoveries. It was named after Parthenope (Siren), ''Parthenopē'', one of the Siren (mythology), Sirens in Greek mythology, said to have founded the city of Naples. De Gasparis "used his utmost endeavours to realise a 'Parthenope' in the heavens, such being the name suggested by Sir John Herschel on the occasion of the discovery of ''10 Hygiea, Hygiea'' in 1849". Two symbols were proposed for Parthenope: a fish and a star () and later a lyre (). Both are obsolete. There have been two observed Parthenopian occultations, on 13 February 1987, and 28 April 2006. On 6 August 2008, during a Apsis, perihelic Opposition (astronomy and astrology), opposition, Parthenope had an apparent magnitude of 8.8.
