Larissa (mythology) In Greek mythology, Larissa or Larisa (Greek: Î»Î¬ÏÎ¹ÏÏÎ±) was the name of two different figures that appears in various accounts: 1 Larisa, daughter of Pelasgus.
The word ÏÏÎ±Î³á¿³Î´Î¯Î± (tragoidia), from which the word  tragedy  is derived, is a compound of two Greek words: ÏÏÎ¬Î³Î¿Ï (tragos) or goat and á¾ Î´Î® (ode) meaning song, from á¼ÎµÎ¯Î´ÎµÎ¹Î½ (aeidein), to sing. This etymology indicates a link with the practices of the ancient Dionysian cults.
