GALENÉ (Γαλήνη).
Greek myth name of the goddess of calm who rules over the level
surface of the sea, meaning "calm, tranquility," "stillness
of the sea." (The
New Nation, Morris, 1880)." There is a Slavic form, Galina.
And see the masculines: Galen,
Galien, Galieno,
Galenos,
and Galenus.
GALENA, or
sulphide of lead, a compound of lead and sulphur, is, like the pure
metal, of a bluish-grey colour. It is the commonest of lead ores,
and was supposed to exert a calming influence in cases of extreme
suffering, hence its Greek name, galene, tranquility, stillness
of the sea. (Products of the Empire, Cunningham, 1921)
1. Pan. Did you
observe, Galené, what Eris did yesterday at the marriage feast in
Thessaly, because she did not herself also receive an invitation to the
banquet?
Gal. No! I didnt' participate with
you in the entertainment. For, Panopé, Poseidon bade me meanwhile
keep the sea calm. By the way, what did Eris do, because she
wasn't present? (A Second-Century Satirist, Lucian-Sheldon, 1901)
