Chariclo

In Greek mythology, Chariclo was a nymph. With Chiron, she was the mother of Ocyrhoe.
She was also the mother of Tiresias, who was struck blind by Athena. She begged Athena to give him sight back, but the goddess could not undo her curse. She gave him the gift of prophecy instead.
The relatively large Centaur_(planetoid) 10199 Chariklo is named after this figure.
