Discovered 1878 Feb. 28 by J. Palisa at Pola.
Named for the fairest of the 14 nymphs who attended Juno {see planet (3)} who promised her in marriage of Aeolus, god of the winds, if he would destroy the fleet of Aeneas {see planet (1172)} which was sailing for Italy. Some sources call Dejopeja an attendant nymph of Cyrene {see planet (133)}. (H 23)
Named by R. Müller, director of the Hydrographic Service in Pola.
