In Greek mythology, Panopea (Ancient Greek: Πανόπεια Panopeia) or Panope (Πανόπη) may refer to various characters. The names mean 'panorama' or means 'of the beautiful husband'.^[1]

• Panope or Poenope,^[2] the Nereid of the sea panorama.^[1] She was one of the 50 marine-nymph daughters of the 'Old Man of the Sea' Nereus and the Oceanid Doris.^[3] Panope, together with Doto and Galatea, escorted her sister Thetis out of the sea to her wedding with Peleus.^[4] Later on, Panope and her other sisters appeared to Thetis when she cries out in sympathy for the grief of Achilles for his slain friend Patroclus.^[5]
• Panopea, Panopeia^[6] or Panopaea^[2], another 'virgin' Nereid^[7] who together with her sisters, Thetis, Nesaea, Spio, Thalia, Cymodoce and Melite, helped the hero Aeneas and his crew during a storm.^[8] She may be the same with her above supposed sister who was doubled by Hyginus in his account.
• Panope, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede^[9] or by one of his many wives.^[10] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,^[11] Panope with her other sisters, except for one,^[12] all laid with the hero in a night,^[13] a week^[14] or for 50 days^[15] as what their father strongly desired it to be.^[16] Panope bore Heracles a son, Threpsippas.^[17]
