Not who you're looking for? Others named Arethusa: nymph in Greek mythology who fled from the river god Alpheus · titular see of Syria near Apamea · set of mythological Greek characters · lover of Poseidon
In Greek mythology, Arethusa is a minor figure from Ithaca who kills herself out of grief and has a fountain bear her name. Her story survives in later scholia on Homer's epic poem the Odyssey. She and her story do not actually appear or are mentioned in the Odyssey itself, although the fountain that is connected to her myth does.
