Melinoë, a chthonic nymph or goddess invoked in one of the Orphic Hymns and propitiated as a bringer of nightmares and madness.
Melinoë may derive from Greek mēlinos (μήλινος), “having the color of quince”, from mēlon (μῆλον), “tree fruit”. The fruit’s yellowish-green color evoked the pallor of illness or death for the Greeks. A name derived from melas, “black”, would be melan-, not melin-.
