ARGANTE.
Arthurian legend name, possibly of Greek origin, from argentos/ἀργήντος,
meaning "white, shining," or argentinos/αργεντινός,
meaning "silvery."
In Spenser's Faërie
Queene, iii. 7, this is the name of a giantess
of unbridled licentiousness. "That geauntesse Argantè is
behight, /
A daughter of the Titans.../
Her sire Typhœus was..."—Book iii. 7, st. 47... (Dictionary
of Phrase and Fable, Brewer, 1905)
... I give thee here my kingdom,
and defend thou my Britons ever well by thy life, and maintain them all
the laws that have stood in my days, and all the good laws that in Uther's
days stood. And I will fare to Avalon, to the fairest of all
maidens, to Argante the queen, an elf most fair, and she shall make my
wounds all sound, make me all whole with healing draughts. And
afterwards I will come again to my kingdom, and dwell with the Britons
with mickle joy."... (Monthly Packet, Yonge, v.1, 1881)
