SINOPE was the Naiad-nymph of the main fountain or spring of the Greek colony of Sinope in Pontus or Assyria on the Black Sea (north-central Anatolia). She was a daughter of the Greek river-god Asopos who was abducted to the region by Zeus. Sinope outwitted three gods--Zeus, Apollon and Halys--and preserved her virginity.
