1. Asteria (ἀστερία): This Greek word literally means "star," but it is also associated with the Titaness Asteria, who was transformed into a star by Zeus. While she doesn't have long hair in mythology, the association with stars and the idea of transformation could connect to the concept.
2. Asterope (ἀστερόπη): This word means "star-like" or "star-bright." It's the name of a few figures in Greek mythology, including a daughter of the giant Pallas and a nymph from the Pleiades constellation. While not specifically related to long hair, "star-bright" can evoke an image of shining, radiant stars.
3. Komē (κόμη): This word means "hair," but it could be used metaphorically to describe the luminous trails or rays of light emanating from stars, giving the impression of flowing, long hair.
4. The Pleiades (Πλειάδες): These seven sisters are a prominent constellation in Greek mythology. They are often associated with stars and beauty, and some accounts mention them with long flowing hair.
5. The Hair of Berenice (Κοίμησις Βερενίκης): This constellation was named after Berenice II, an Egyptian queen who sacrificed her hair to the gods to ensure the safe return of her husband from war. While not specifically Greek in origin, the association with a queen, a sacrifice, and stars with long hair can be related to the concept.
Instead of a single word, you could create a phrase:
* Άστρα με μακριά μαλλιά (Astra me makria mallia): This phrase translates directly to "stars with long hair."
Remember, while there isn't a single Greek word for "stars with long hair," you can use existing words and phrases to express the idea, evoking the beauty and mythology of Greek stars.
