"Of these nine daughters [of Asopos] ... Tanagra, [eponym of a cult centre of Hermes], was seized by Hermes."
- Greek Lyric IV Corinna, Frag 654
"For your [Tanagra's] sake Hermes boxed against Ares."
- Greek Lyric IV Corinna, Frag 666
"It is said that Pomandros married Tanagra daughter of Aiolos. But in a poem of Korinna she is said to be a daughter of Asopos. There is a story that, as she reached extreme old age, her neighbours ceased to call her by this name, and gave the name Graia (Old Woman), first to the woman herself and then to the city."
- Pausanias, Guide to Greece 9.20.1
"Asopos made his home in Phlios [Sikyonia], where he married Metope, the daughter of Ladon, to whom were born two sons, Pelasgos and Ismenos, and twelve daughters, Korkyra and Salamis, also Aigina, Peirene, and Kleone, then Thebe, Tanagra, Thespeia, and Asopis, also Sinope, and finally Ornia and Khalkis."
