In Greek mythology, Chariclo was a nymph, daughter of Cychreus and Stilbe. She married Chiron and became the mother of Hippe, Endeis, Ocyrhoe, and Carystus. There is another nymph named Chariclo who is favored by Athena. With a shepherd, Everes, she became the mother of the prophet Tiresias. Tiresias was struck blind by Athena after seeing her naked. Chariclo begged Athena to give him sight back, but the goddess could not undo her curse. She gave him the gift of prophecy instead.[1]
