In Greek mythology, Alciope may refer to the three different characters:
- Alciope, the nymph-mother Celmisius.[1][2] In this capacity, she was probably the Alciope who bore to Cronus the Dactyls, one of which Celmis was named.[3]
- Alciope, one of Apollo's lovers, and the mother of Linus.[4]
- Alciope, the supposed name of Alciopus' daughter. She was one of Heracles's numerous lovers.[5]
