Rhapso was a nymph or minor goddess in Greek mythology, worshipped in Athens. She is known solely from a 4th‑century BCE inscription found at Phalerum, where her name is linked to the verb meaning “to sew.” Scholars suggest she functioned as a fate goddess, organizing a man’s thread of life at birth, and may have been a patroness of seamstresses.
