In Greek mythology, Thelxinoë /θɛlkˈsɪn./[1] (Ancient Greek: Θελξινόη, romanized: Thelxinóē; English translation: "mind charming") was a name attributed to four individuals.

  • Thelxinoë, one of the sirens. Also known as Thelxiope or Thelxiepia.[2]
  • Thelxinoë, one of the four later recognized muses in Greek tradition. She and her sisters Aoede, Arche and Melete[3] were regarded as daughters of Zeus by Plusia.[4] She was linked with the charming of the mind as a Muse. The moon of Jupiter Thelxinoe is named after her.
  • Thelxinoë, one of Semele's attendants.[5]
  • Thelxinoëa, also Thelxionoea or Thelxineia, one of the so-called Praxidicae (the other two were Alacomenia and Aulis), daughters of King Ogyges of Boeotia.[6]
