In Greek mythology, Theope (Ancient Greek: Θεόπης) may refer to the two distinct women:

  • Theope, an Athenian daughter of Leos, and sister of Praxithea and Eubule.[1] These women were said to have sacrificed themselves voluntarily, or to have been freely sacrificed by their father, for the safety of Athens in obedience to the Delphian oracle. A temenos called the Leocorium was dedicated to the worship of these three maidens at Athens.[2]
  • Theope, one of the Maenads who tried to kill King Lycurgus of Thrace.[3]
