For the butterfly genus see Asterope.In Greek mythology Cyane or Kyane (Κυανῆ dark blue in Greek) was a nymph who tried to prevent Hades from abducting Persephone her playmate. Upon failure she dissolved away in tears and melted into her pool. In a slightly different version Cyane was the Naiad (i.e. the fresh-water nymph) of a spring in the Sicilian town of Syracuse.
