In [[Greek mythology]], '''Bolina''' ({{IPAc-en|b|oʊ|'|l|aɪ|n|ə}};<ref>{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/phonographicpron00bolliala/page/600/mode/2up |page=601 |title= Phonographic Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language |first=William |last=Bolles |publisher=Bolles and Williams |location=New London, CT|year=1847}}</ref> [[Ancient Greek]]: Βολίνα) or '''Boline''' (Βολίνη) was a [[nymph]]. According to [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], Bolina was once a mortal maiden of [[Achaea]]. She was loved by the god [[Apollo]], and when he attempted to approach her, Bolina fled from him and threw herself into the sea to escape his advances. Thereupon the god made her immortal. On the spot where Bolina fell into the sea, the town [[Bolina (Achaea)|Bolina]] was founded.<ref name="achaica">[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] ''Description of Greece'' 7.23.4</ref><br />
