en Kyrene
Etymology
From en la Cȳrēnē, from en grc Κυρήνη, of uncertain origin. Classical sources considered the Thessalian demigod the etymon for the Libyan city. Modern scholars variously derive the name from the Libyan spring grc Κύρα or, noting the myth attested before the spring or city, consider an existing en ber-pro - name to have been conflated with the Thessalian myths by early Greek colonists.
