👉 Parthenos, in Greek mythology, is a type of female who has never been married or had children. She is often depicted as being innocent and pure, and her role in the stories was to provide shelter for young males. In classical mythology, Parthenos was also associated with fertility and the natural world, which could be seen as a metaphor for the idea that women are capable of nurturing and caring for their offspring without having to marry or have children of their own.
