<section begin=summary/>'''Mélusine''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|i:|.|lj|u:|.|ˌ|z|i:|.|n|(|ə|)}}) is the fourth most distant moon of [[Eos]]. Owing to its short atmospheric height, the pinkish violet hue of its sky can only be seen at near-tangential angles, or from the surface.

== Nomenclature ==

From [[wikipedia:French_mythology|French mythology]], the '''Mélusine''' is a type of [[wikipedia:Nyxie|water spirit]], commonly thought to occupy [[wikipedia:Holy well|holy wells]] or [[wikipedia:River|rivers]]. She is usually depicted as a woman who is a [[wikipedia:Serpent|serpent]] or [[Wikipedia:Fish|fish]] from the waist down, and is sometimes illustrated with wings, two tails, or both.

In its most famous [[wikipedia:legend|legend]], Mélusine is the daughter of a [[wikipedia:Fairy|fay]] named Pressine, whom, after Mélusine brings vengeance upon her father for betraying Pressine, [[wikipedia:Curse|curses]] her to [[wikipedia:Shapeshifting|take the form]] of a two-tailed serpent from the waist down every [[wikipedia:Saturday|Saturday]]. If Mélusine were ever to marry, her spouse must agree to never see her on Saturdays; if he keeps the oath, Mélusine will live a contented life with him, but if he breaks it and violates her privacy, she will stay a serpent and spend three days lamenting whenever a descendant dies.

Nevertheless, one day, a distraught [[wikipedia:Count|Count]] Raymondin of Poitiers comes across Mélusine after accidentally killing his uncle. Mélusine consoles him, and when he proposes to her, she lays down the condition that he must never see her on a Saturday. For ten years, Raymondin keeps his promises, and Mélusine bears him ten sons and organizes the construction of marvelous castles via her mystical powers.

Inevitably, Mélusine's husband betrays her trust and learns her true form. He keeps his transgression a secret, until one of their now-adult sons [[wikipedia:Fratricide|murders his brother]], perhaps crazed by the same motive that drove Mélusine herself decades prior. Before his court, the grieving Raymondin blames Mélusine and accuses her of being a serpent. In a wail, she assumes the form of a [[wikipedia:Dragon|dragon]] and flies off and is never seen again by any mortal eyes, leaving only two magic rings in her stead. In secret, she returns at night to nurse her two youngest children, who are still infants.

{{QuoteLit| Unto her now, showing there, full white, like as is the snow a fair branch upon, the body well made, fraught in holy plait, the visage pure, fresh, cleanly her person, to properly speak off her fashion, Now none fairer nor more reverent, But a tail [she] had, beneath, of serpent!|''The Romans of Partenay, or of Lusignen: Otherwise Known as the Tale of Melusine'' (Translated) (2801)}}
