Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Eponym Person	Parthenopolis is named after the daughters of Grastus, son of Mygdon. Because of their rustic way of life and their isolation from others, he founded a city, which is still called Parthenopolis because of them.
Morphological Composition	“Parthenopolis” is transparently formed from Greek παρθένος (“maiden, virgin”) and πόλις (“city”), i.e. “city of the maidens”; in the passage, however, this form functions as a name derived from the daughters rather than as an independent linguistic derivation.
