AGANIPPE, in antiquity, a fountain of Bœotia, at Mount Helicon, on the borders between Phœcis and Bœotia, sacred to the Muses, and running into the river Permessus; (Pliny, Paulianus.) Ovid seems to make
Aganippe and Hippocrene the same. Serenus more truly distinguishes them, and ascribes the blending them to poetical license.
